A Thousand Years of Warfare in Twenty Battles
Anthony Tucker-Jones New Hardback Illustrated
Postscript summary
In an analysis of 20 battles around the world, including Fulford Gate in 1066, Tenochititlan in 1521 and Tora Bora in 2001, Tucker-Jones provides an overview of a thousand years of warfare and how each conflict shaped history.
Product information
Full publisher description
The second millennium of mankind has been characterised by almost incessant warfare somewhere on the face of the globe. The Art of War in Twenty Battles serves as a snapshot of the development of warfare over the past 1,000 years, illustrating the bravery and suffering mankind has inflicted upon itself in developing what we call the 'Art of War'.
Here military historian Anthony Tucker-Jones selects twenty battles that illustrate the changing face of warfare over the past thousand years - from the Viking shield wall to long bows and knights, the emergence of gunpowder and finally the long-range faceless warfare of today. This is a look at the killing game and its devastating impact.
