War is a compelling subject. It is common to almost all known
societies and periods of history. The Cambridge History of Warfare
provides a detailed account of war in the West from antiquity to
the present day, and is unique because of its controversial thesis
that war in western societies has followed a unique path leading to
western dominance of the globe. From the Greek victory at Marathon
to the Gulf War, readable and authoritative, The Cambridge History
of Warfare places in context the key events in the history of armed
engagement. All aspects of war on land, sea, and in the air are
covered: weapons and technology; strategy and defense; discipline
and intelligence; mercenaries and standing armies; cavalry and
infantry; chivalry and Blitzkrieg; guerilla assault and nuclear
arsenals. This volume, first published as The Cambridge Illustrated
History of Warfare, includes maps and an updated bibliography.
