warfare and armed conflicts: a statistical encyclopedia of casualty and other figures, 1492-2015

Some major events, such as the American Civil War or the Second World War, are treated with multiple entries dealing with individual campaigns or even battles, while some obscurer conflicts, especially many in the non-Western world, are often accorded much shorter. The fullest entries offer extensive details on forces involved, casualties, commanders, consequences, and more.Īs is the case with all such works, there’s more war and conflict than can ever be covered in one volume.Ĭlodfelter sometimes stretches the meaning of “war” or “armed conflict'.

The individual accounts range from brief summaries to multi-page essays. Every few years since, Clodfelter has produced a revised and expanded edition of this work, and in this fourth edition covers conflicts from the Columbian event down through 2015 and includes many additional violent outbreaks and has extensive revisions to much of the older material.Įntries are arranged chronologically and then regionally. In 1992 McFarland issued Clodfelter’s Warfare and Armed Conflicts: A Statistical Reference to Casualty and Other Figures, 1618-1991, a massive reference guide to some hundreds of wars, rebellions, riots, and other violent occurrences in all parts of the world. Michael Clodfelter is the author of a number of books on American military history. ISBN: 078647470X.Ī Valuable Reference Guide to Five Centuries of War and Armed Conflict
