摘要

戰後臺灣，「西洋軍事史」這個研究領域，似乎呈現出一種既冷門卻又熱門的奇特狀態。說它冷門，是因為鮮少有專業的歷史學者，從事相關主題的研究；說它熱門，則坊間卻又不乏相關書籍與譯著、或是軍事專業期刊，可供吾人參考、閱讀。本論文以歷史學界的相關研究成果及博碩士論文為對象，回顧檢討戰後臺灣的西洋軍事史研究。除了透過量化分析與質性研究、以呈現其概況外，並嘗試給予適當的評價。接著，以此結論為基礎，進一步探討臺灣歷史學界在從事西洋軍事史研究時，所可能面臨到的困境，並從而提出具體的突破之道、以及研究發展方向的建議。

In post-war Taiwan, the research field of ＂Western military history＂ presents itself in a peculiar way, seemingly to be paid little attention to and being a hot topic at the same time. If we say it is being paid little attention to, it is because only few professional historians carry out relevant studies on this subject. If we say it is a hot topic, it is because there is no lack of relevant books and translated works published outside professional circles. There are also specialized military periodicals that are available for reference and for reading. Focusing on research results from historians and from M.A. and Ph.D. theses, this article reviews and examines the research in Taiwan in Western military history. Apart from quantitative analysis and qualitative research, which serve to provide a general over view, this article also attempts to produce an appropriate assessment. On the basis of the conclusions drawn from this, it furthermore explores what difficulties Taiwanese historians may face when they carry out studies in Western military history. The article then points out specific ways of solving these difficulties and makes suggestions for the course to be taken in the further development of such historical research.
