E. De Angelis
Analysing paintings presented by Tate Britain's exhibition Fighting History, Emma De Angelis considers whether history painting can further our understanding of war, especially in today's world. Devices such as the visual fusion of time and space in history painting can facilitate new perspectives and reflections on conflict, and provoke an affective reaction that differs greatly from any scholarly analysis of war past and present.

Beatrice Heuser
The Battle of Waterloo marked the end of a protracted European conflict that had lasted for twenty-three years. This period witnessed the seemingly inexorable rise of Napoleon, first to the position of general, then consul and finally emperor. It saw him face several kaleidoscopic coalitions of European powers, experience victory and defeat in battle, suffer exile, and return to rally France once again during the famous Hundred Days that ended at Waterloo. The question as to why this most famous of military strategists was defeated in June 1815 has long been a source of debate. Here, Beatrice Heuser explores the reasons why he lost the battle and – ultimately – the war, concluding that this was due to a broader failure of strategic vision on Napoleon's part.

Much of contemporary society's memory of war is built on artistic interpretations of the historical experience of conflict and trauma, rather than the official commemorations that often take centre stage.

J.A. de Waal
As the UK's next general election looms closer, so too does the next Strategic Defence and Security Review. The last such review exercise in 2010 provoked extensive and widespread criticism – related to both its process and its outcomes. However, what was not called into question was the fundamental assumption on which the whole exercise rested: that the UK should maintain its full-spectrum expeditionary posture. James de Waal argues that, while the nuts and bolts of defence policy continue to be important, there is a much more significant, substantive debate to be had about the type of defence policy the UK should pursue.

Laurent de Castelli
Al-Qa'ida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) was set up in northern Mali years before the Tuareg rebellion of 2012. A safe haven for its members, this sanctuary allowed the group to raise funds through drug-trafficking and the ransom business. In 2012, AQIM and its local allies took control of northern Mali and attempted to create an Islamic state – an effort which was cut short by the French military intervention in January 2013. Laurent de Castelli dissects the motives which led AQIM to create its sanctuary in northern Mali before 2012, its drive to establish an Islamic state with the support of its allies, and the reasons behind this evolution.

G. Hughes
As the tenth anniversary of the US-UK invasion of Iraq approaches, and with the findings of the Chilcot Inquiry yet to be published, public debate is likely to focus once again on the events surrounding the political decision to go to war. However, many argue that this will overshadow the most important lessons for the UK: those that can be drawn from the conduct of military operations in southeastern Iraq, in the period between 2003 and 2007. Geraint Hughes offers a timely reminder why Operation Telic must not be forgotten, surveying the British experience of the conflict in Iraq at the political, strategic and military levels.
