The Cutting Edge

Military History of Antiquity and Early Feudal Times.

This overview of Western military history identifies aspects of warfare from 1000 B.C. to 1000 A.D. as keys to the fates of «world» empires and the survival of Christian Europe. The great commanders, battles and campaigns of this pivotal period are assessed in fresh perspective. Military systems, tactics and weapons are examined in detail. Also presented are current insights into propaganda, political and religious factors that decisively influenced struggles for supremacy and survival. 502 Seiten, gebunden (American University Studies.
