I used to be invited by the Staff College at Quetta to give a talk on the evolution of warfare, and at the conclusion, to suggest a method for studying military history. I confess that the only time I deliberately researched the subject was when I appeared for a couple of exams, but that was clearly not what the college had in mind. They wanted a wider perspective spread over the course of a career. So, looking for an answer I did what most people do nowadays, and Googled a question on how to study military history.
One of the best methods was outlined on a site sponsored by the U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence. It suggests that military history should be studied in three dimensions: in width i.e. how warfare has developed through time; in-depth i.e. taking one campaign or battle and examining it in detail including memoirs, diaries, and even historical fiction; and finally in context i.e. its social, cultural, economic, human, moral, political, and psychological dimensions.•
