Written with both authority and accessibility, A History of War provides a fascinating overview of warfare and how it has shaped our world.
From the Theban Wars of Ancient Greece to the modern wars of Iraq and Afghanistan, this comprehensive account explains the dark but compelling story of warfare. Two factors sit at the heart of this story: technology – including weapons, vehicle systems and vehicles and tactics.
A History of War charts the rise of the army, explaining how primitive tribal war parties evolved through seasonal levies and feudal armies to professional standing armies and mass conscription forces, with formal organizational structures.
