Förlagets information

Arranged chronologically, History of War provides a sumptuous, pictorial guide to the most significant conflicts in human history, from the Bronze Age to the 21st Century.

Mankind has waged warfare for as long as hunters have been able to wield deadly weapons: rock paintings dating back 10,000 years show hunter-gatherers in Spain fighting with bows and arrows. The history of humankind is in part the history of warfare, as peoples and states have sought to impose themselves on each and protect their own interests, fighting for land, resources and influence. Arranged chronologically, History of War offers a broad overview of the most important wars, battles and campaigns from the Bronze Age to the present, with extensive coverage of the key developments in military technology along the way. Learn about the fabled Siege of Troy, and the Bronze Age weapons deployed at the time; understand how William of Normandy broke the Anglo-Saxon shield wall at Hastings with the clever use of feint cavalry tactics, and in so doing, won himself a kingdom; marvel at the final fall of the Eastern Roman empire, when Mehmet II's Ottoman troops finally stormed the walls of Constantinople in 1453; follow the three-day battle at Gettysburg, where the Union army halted Lee's Confederate advance north and turned the war in favour of the federal government; see the success of the tank as a spearhead of lightning tactics, deployed so effectively by Germany during the invasions of Poland, France and Russia in World War II; and understand the uses of drones in modern warfare, and their ability use stealth tactics to destroy tanks, artillery and fixed enemy positions. History of War provides a sumptuous, pictorial guide to the most significant wars, battles and campaigns in world history, from the Bronze Age to the 21st Century.
