An epic overview of the 5,000-year story of warfare from 3000 BC to the present day.
Men have always fought wars: over territory, food, human populations or for the sheer thrill of violence and conquest. From the outset, people have tried to gain advantage over their enemies by fashioning better weapons, inventing better tactics, and making use of superior technology and economic power. Military expert Robin Cross provides a wonderfully accessible survey of the key people, battles, weapons, fortifications, tactics and innovations that have had a decisive influence on the course of human history.
