First Edition. 50 Events You Really Need to Know. History of War by Robin Cross. This landmark survey of 3,000 years of warfare identifies the key ways in which humanity has pursued 'politics by other means'. The author examines the most pivotal innovations in the history of warfare. Some of these are tactical: the Roman siegecraft first invented to starve the Empire's enemies into submission; Germany's dazzling use of Blitzkreig in the Second World War to overrun Europe; and the still hugely controversial strategic bombing of the same era that rained terror on soldiers and civilians alike. Here to are revolutionary weapons: the Macedonian phalanx that was the tank of its day; the longbox that famously won the Battle of Agincourt for the English; and the assault rifle which has played a crucial role in every conflict of the last 100 years. Also encompassing such topics as castles, naval warfare, mass production, stealth and codebreaking, this is a comprehensive overview of the many faces of battle. Packed with eyewitness testimony,k it brings the physical conditions of warfare vividly and unforgettably to life. It will appeal to all students of history who want to understand this most brutal, intense and often heroic aspect of human experience.

Minor shelfwear. ; This book is an exploration of the process and consequences of the campaigns of Alexander the Great of Macedon (who reigned from 336 to 323 BC) , focusing on the effect of his monarchy upon the world of his day. A detailed running narrative of the actual campaigns from the Danube to the Indus is complemented and enlarged upon by thematic studies on the reaction in Greece to Macedonian suzerainty, the administration of the empire, the evolution of the Macedonian army and its role as the instrument of conquest, and on the origins of the ruler cult. ; Canto Series; 330 pages ., Cambridge University Press, 1989, 3, London: Orion, 2009 Kineas, the Athenian cavalry commander, has come a long way since being dismissed from the army of Alexander and vengefully exiled by his own city. Together, his mercenary force and their Scythian allies have defeated a mighty Macedonian army at the Ford of the River God, and his adopted city of Olbia is now free once more. But his destiny will not allow him to enjoy the fruits of victory for long. Far to the east, at the farthest edge of the Sea of Grass, Alexander is threatening to crush the Scythian hordes once and for all. The Lady Srayanka of the Cruel Hands, the Scythian warrior-princess who spurned a king's love to be at Kineas's side, is pledged to take her tribe east to help stop 'the monster' - and Kineas knows he has no choice but to follow, even if it means embracing the violent death in battle that he has seen prefigured in countless dreams. But long before he can confront the might of Alexander's army alongside his beloved Srayanka, he must undertake an epic journey, of breathtaking daring, taking an army through hundreds of miles of hostile terrain - towards his own appointment with fate..

Summary: Stephen Decatur was one of the most awe-inspiring officers of the entire Age of Fighting Sail. A real-life American naval hero in the early nineteenth century, he led an astonishing life, and his remarkable acts of courage in combat made him one of the most celebrated figures of his era. Decatur's dazzling exploits in the Barbary Wars propelled him to national prominence at the age of twenty-five. His dramatic capture of HMS Macedonian in the War of 1812, and his subsequent naval and diplomatic triumphs in the Mediterranean, secured his permanent place in the hearts of his countrymen. Handsome, dashing, and fearless, his crews worshipped him, presidents lionized him, and an adoring public heaped fresh honors on him with each new achievement. James Tertius de Kay is one of our foremost naval historians. In A Rage for Glory, the first new biography of Decatur in almost seventy years, he recounts Decatur's life in vivid colors. Drawing on material unavailable to previous biographers, he traces the origins of Decatur's fierce patriotism (""My country...right or wrong!"") , chronicles Decatur's passionate love affair with Susan Wheeler, and provides new details of Decatur's tragic death in a senseless duel of honor, secretly instigated by the backroom machinations of jealous fellow officers determined to ruin him. His death left official Washington in such shock that his funeral became a state occasion, attended by friends who included former President James Madison, current President James Monroe, Chief Justice John Marshall, and ten thousand more. Decatur's short but crowded life was an astonishing epic of hubris, romance, and high achievement. Only a handful of Americans since his time have ever come close to matching his extraordinary glamour and brilliance.., New York : Free Press, 2004, 5, Used - Very Good. Ships from the UK.
