Modern African, Asian, Latin American, and Middle Eastern Military History: A Bibliography of English-Language Books and Articles Published From 1960-2013

Abstract : This is a bibliography of English-language books and articles on the modern military history of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Modern in this case is defined as from the sixteenth century to the present day, although the former is an approximate date. It is organized by region in alphabetical order, and within each region, books and articles are listed in separate categories. Although the bibliographer aims for comprehensive coverage, the selection of sources is ultimately a matter of judgment, and the bibliography comes to be defined by what is not included just as much as by what is included. Regarding the former, the reader will note that the following types of sources have been largely omitted: memoirs and other first-hand accounts, militaria-related books, and American-centric sources on the Pacific, Korean and Vietnam War. On the other hand, this bibliography does include, for example, sources of the origins and termination of conflicts in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
