- Clifford J. Rogers (historian)
Clifford J. Rogers is a professor of history at the United States Military Academy at West Point. He has also been a Leverhulme Visiting Professor at Swansea University, an Olin Fellow in Military and Strategic History at Yale, and a Fulbright fellow at the Institute of Historical Research in London.
Rogers writes mainly on medieval military history. His "War Cruel and Sharp: English Strategy under Edward III, 1327-1360" won the 2003 Verbruggen Prize awarded by De Re Militari. [cite web |url=http://www.deremilitari.org/news/bm2003.htm |title=Minutes from the De Re Militari Business Meeting |publisher=De Re Militari |date=March 8 2003 |accessdate=2008-03-06] He has also been awarded the Royal Historical Society Alexander Prize medal and a Society for Military History Moncado Prize for his articles.
His most recent book is "Soldiers' Lives through History: The Middle Ages." A podcast of a lecture based on part of that book, focusing on the soldier's experience of battle, has been posted by NYMAS, at http://libraryautomation.com/nymas/podcasts.html. He is also the editor of "The Wars of Edward III: Sources and Interpretations" and "The Military Revolution Debate," and co-editor of [http://www.deremilitari.org/jmmh/jmmh.htm "The Journal of Medieval Military History"] and the essay collection "Civilians in the Path of War".
Although Rogers' work on Military Revolutions has found favor with many historians, some (including Kelly DeVries [Kelly DeVries, “Catapults are Not Atom Bombs: Towards a Redefinition of ‘Effectiveness’ in Premodern Military Technology,” "War in History", 4 (1997): 454-70; cf. C. J. Rogers, “The Efficacy of the English Longbow: A Reply to Kelly DeVries,” "War in History", 5 (1998): ] and John Stone [Journal of Military History; Apr2004, Vol. 68 Issue 2, p361-380] ) argue that his analysis suffers from "technological determinism."
