In a study that extends well beyond military history, David B. Ralston documents the ways in which five different countries-Russia, the Ottoman Empire, Egypt, China, and Japan-refashioned their armed forces along European lines during the three centuries after 1600. The appropriation of Western military institutions in countries outside of Europe was, Ralston argues, the major force driving these countries to adopt European administrative, economic, and cultural modes.

David B. Ralston, associate professor of history at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the author of The Army of the Republic.
