SWWRG Vice-President @rjhammond215 has just been appointed Co-Editor of War in History. He joins Lance Blyth and fellow SWWRG Vice-President Kathryn Barbier as Co-Editors.
Lance R Blyth@mtn_war

With some excitement (and trepidation) I have accepted the invitation of Sage Journals to serve as a co-Editor for War in History alongside Kathryn Barbier of Mississippi State University and Richard Hammond of the University of Brunel. War in History is a peer reviewed journal that publishes articles on war in all its aspects: economic, social, political and military including the study of naval forces, maritime power and air forces, as well as more narrowly defined military matters with no restriction as to period. Wish me luck!
