'Cassell's World History Of Warfare' is aimed at the general reader who wants a single volume explaining military strategy and tactics across the globe from ancient times to the present day.
Key themes are addressed: attitudes to war in different ages, how war shaped societies, the impact of technology, the nature of armies and what it was like to serve in them. Each chapter addresses the key changes that mark the transition to a new era of military history and includes a typical battle or campaign to highlight the nature of war at any one time.
Written by a team of military historians, this is a very readable introduction to the whole of military history, from Stone Age tribes to the Gulf War.
