Description

With authoritative text supported by hundreds of fascinating photographs and maps, this book takes the reader on a journey from prehistoric conflicts employing rudimentary stone weapons to today's hi-tech battles with their dependence on elite forces, drones and computer-guided missiles. It tells the remarkable stories of the great leaders - both men and women - who rallied vast armies into battle, whether it be Bouricca inciting the Britons to rise up against Roman repression, or Alexander the Great conquering neighbouring lands to extend his formidable empire. The Atlas of Military History charts the causes and calamities of two World Wars and expores their legacies - including the Cold War and the emergence of the USA as a lone superpower - and brings the reader right up to date with the recent terrorist attacks against the USA and its allies, as well as the Arab Spring in the Middle East...
