Fighting for America : the struggle for mastery in North America, 1519-1871 by Jeremy Black( )
"This book offers a one-volume geopolitical history of North America from the landing of Spanish troops under Hernán Cortés in modern Mexico in 1519 until 1871 when, with the Treaty of Washington and the withdrawal of most British garrisons, Britain in effect accepted American mastery in North America and the North American question was thereby settled"--Preface
George III : America's last king by Jeremy Black( )
20 editions published between 2006 and 2008 in English and Undetermined and held by 2,016 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The sixty-year reign of George III (1760-1820) witnessed and participated in some of the most critical events of modern world history: the ending of the Seven Years' War with France, the American War of Independence, the French Revolutionary Wars, the campaign against Napoleon Bonaparte and battle of Waterloo in 1815, and Union with Ireland in 1801. Despite the pathos of the last years of the mad, blind, and neglected monarch, it is a life full of importance and interest. Jeremy Black's biography deals comprehensively with the politics, the wars, and the domestic issues, and harnesses the richest range of unpublished sources in Britain, Germany, and the United States. But, using George III's own prolific correspondence, it also interrogates the man himself, his strong religious faith, and his powerful sense of moral duty to his family and to his nation. Black considers the king's scientific, cultural, and intellectual interests as no other biographer has done, and explores how he was viewed by his contemporaries. Identifying George as the last British ruler of the Thirteen Colonies, Black reveals his strong personal engagement in the struggle for America and argues that George himself, his intentions and policies, were key to the conflict.--Publisher description

Rethinking military history by Jeremy Black( )
Rethinking Military History is a bold new 'thought book' that reconsiders military history at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The chapters provide a valuable and concise survey of the main themes in the study of military history from 1500 to the present day as Jeremy Black reveals the main trends in the practice and approach to military history and proposes a new manifesto for the subject to move forward. This must-read study demonstrates the limitations of current approaches, including common generalizations, omissions, and over-simplications. Engaging theoretical discussions, with reference to specific conflicts, suggest how these limitations can be remedied and adapted, whilst incorporating contributions from other disciplines. Rethinking Military History is essential reading for all those with an interest in military history, and all who wish to take part in moving the discipline forward
Britain as a military power, 1688-1815 by Jeremy Black( )
In 1688, Britain was invaded, its army and navy unable to prevent the overthrow of the government. By 1815, it was the strongest power in the world with the largest empire. Jeremy Black assesses the military aspects of this shift
The power of knowledge : how information and technology made the modern world by Jeremy Black( )
"Information is power. For more than five hundred years the success or failure of nations has been determined by a country's ability to acquire knowledge and technical skill and transform them into strength and prosperity. Leading historian Jeremy Black approaches global history from a distinctive perspective, focusing on the relationship between information and society and demonstrating how the understanding and use of information have been the primary factors in the development and character of the modern age. Black suggests that the West's ascension was a direct result of its institutions and social practices for acquiring, employing, and retaining information and the technology that was ultimately produced. His cogent and well-reasoned analysis looks at cartography and the hardware of communication, armaments and sea power, mercantilism and imperialism, science and astronomy, as well as bureaucracy and the management of information, linking the history of technology with the history of global power while providing important indicators for the future of our world"--
Warfare in the Western world, 1882-1975 by Jeremy Black( )
A history of the British Isles by Jeremy Black( Book )
"From the earliest pre-history to the 1990s this stirring account describes the astonishingly varied stages through which the British Isles have passed to achieve their present identity." "Just as the islands have populated and ruled so much of the rest of the world, so they have been settled themselves by many invaders, all of whom have left their mark - from Romans to Saxons, from Vikings to Normans - creating an immensely rich historical inheritance." "Perhaps most dynamic of all has always been the relationship between the four principal peoples of the islands: Scots, Irish, English and Welsh." "A History of the British Isles is not (unlike most other accounts) really just a history of England. Proper weight is given to all four, often fractious, components of the British Isles, giving the reader an admirably balanced and absorbing account - political, social, economic and cultural - of an extraordinary shared history."--Jacket
Parliament and foreign policy in the eighteenth century by Jeremy Black( )
"Drawing on a wide range of British and foreign archival sources, this book tackles the role of Parliament in the conduct of eighteenth-century foreign policy, the impact of this policy on parliamentary politics, and the quality of parliamentary debates. The study is important for our assessment of eighteenth-century Britain, and also, more generally, for an understanding of the role of contingency in the assessment of political systems."--Jacket
Western warfare, 1775-1882 by Jeremy Black( )
This work looks at the subject of western warfare, covering the period from the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War to the last of the European conflicts in Egypt and Tunis before the descent into world war in 1914
The world in the twentieth century by Jeremy Black( )
"This history of the twentieth century, our age, dares to take a new approach. Eschewing the standard political history of the West, Jeremy Black points up the deeper issues of the century and those which will surely determine our path in the twenty-first: belief, race, gender, technology and the environment. At the same time, there is a determined engagement with other continents, especially Asia and Africa. At this crucial turning point in history, the compelling new perspectives offered by The World in the Twentieth Century could not be more topical."--Jacket
Maps and politics by Jeremy Black( Book )
Do maps accurately and objectively present the information we expect them to portray, or are they instead colored by the political purposes of their makers? In the lively and well-illustrated Maps and Politics, Jeremy Black investigates this dangerous territory, arguing persuasively that the supposed "objectivity" of the map-making and map-using process cannot be divorced from aspects of the politics of representation. Black uses a wide variety of historical and contemporary examples to show that maps have played, and continue to play, a major role in international and domestic politics. From an Australian atlas that gives Australia pride of place in the center of the globe to U.S. maps from World War II that minimize the distances between the United States and Europe, globalizing American attention, to current wildly divergent representations of the former Yugoslavia used by various groups to assert ethnic identities and territorial claims, maps both reflect and advance political agendas in powerful ways. Among the many topics Black considers are how to recognize the underlying messages shown by various projections in world maps or historical atlases; how cartographers deal with political and socioeconomic issues in maps; and the problems of mapping frontiers, especially those that are in dispute. In all these areas, Black shows that the major cartographic developments over the past century have been responses both to scientific advances and to a greater emphasis on graphic imagery in societies affected by politicization, democratization, and consumer and cultural shifts
Debating foreign policy in eighteenth-century Britain by Jeremy Black( )
Focuses on how Britain's foreign policy during the eighteenth century was debated and written about in British society. Taking as a central theme the debate over policy and the development of public culture and politics, the author explores how these were linked to developing relations with Europe and helped shape colonial strategies and expectations. He highlights how widely-shared concerns about such issues as national defense, the strength of the Royal Navy, and trade protection presented little consensus in how they were to be realized, and were the subject of fierce public debate. He underlines how these kinds of issues were not considered in the abstract, but in terms of a political community that was divided over a series of key issues
Clio's battles : historiography in practice by Jeremy Black( )
"To write history is to consider how to explicate the past, to weigh the myriad possible approaches to the past, and to come to terms with how the past can be and has been used. In this book, prize-winning historian Jeremy Black considers both popular and academic approaches to the past. His focus is on the interaction between the presentation of the past and current circumstances, on how history is used to validate one view of the present or to discredit another, and on readings of the past that unite and those that divide. Black opens with an account that underscores the differences and developments in traditions of writing history from the ancient world to the present. Subsequent chapters take up more recent decades, notably the post-Cold War period, discussing how different perspectives can fuel discussions of the past by individuals interested in shaping public opinion or public perceptions of the past. Black then turns to the possible future uses of the then past as a way to gain perspective on how we use the past today. Clio's Battles is an ambitious account of the engagement with the past across world history and of the clash over the content and interpretation of history and its implications for the present and future"--Provided by publisher
Maps and history : constructing images of the past by Jeremy Black( Book )
"Historical atlases offer an understanding of the past which is invaluable to historians, not only because they convey a previous age's sense of space and distance but also because they reveal what historians and educators of those periods thought important to include or omit. This book ... explores the role, development, and nature of this important reference tool and discusses its impact on the presentation of the past. Jeremy Black begins with a consideration of the 'pre-history' of the historical atlas: individual maps depicting the Holy Land at the time of Christ and maps of the classical world. He then examines the first known historical atlas, the Parergon of Abraham Ortelius, which was published in Antwerp in 1570 and was followed by other works that mapped the world of the Bible and the classics. In the eighteenth century, there was a growing interest in mapping the post-Classical world, and works appeared that included maps of medieval Europe. In the nineteenth century, historical maps came increasingly to embody a clear political emphasis, mapping blocs of territory separated by clear linear frontiers and reflecting an approach to the past focused on undivided sovereignty and the development of the nation-state. In the twentieth century, historical atlases have both contributed to and responded to other ideologies, portraying peoples, languages, and cultural differences in an immediate and often striking visual form. Since 1945 the range of atlases has broadened to include maps devoted to the global environment, health, population trends and other sociological, cultural and economic changes. And both the 'liberation' of the Third World and the ending of the Cold War have stimulated a full scale re-mapping of the globe and the way it is perceived."--Jacket
