Warfare Through the Centuries

The detailed volumes in this series create a comprehensive view of warfare throughout the ages, relating the story of conflict from the earliest times to the present. Much more than a blow-by-blow account of wars, this set takes a deep dive into all the world's major conflicts through the centuries. The text examines great commanders, key weapons, and decisive battles on land, at sea, and in the air. These battles have all played important roles in deciding the outcome of major military events. All the factors influencing the conduct of war, including terrain, technology, intelligence, generalship, morale--and luck--are explored with great detail.
