War & Society commissions historical review articles. Our collection can be found here: https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/ywar20/collections/Historiographical-Survey-Collection

To mark War & Society’s fortieth anniversary, our board member Professor Brian Linn convened a distinguished group of military historians, including members of the journal’s editorial advisory board, to reflect on the continued existence, or vanishing, of grand narratives and the consequences of this. These reflections provide an overview of the state of the field four decades on from our original issue in May 1983 and can be found here: https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/ywar20/collections/A-Forty-Year-Perspective��
