　　War is a compelling subject. It is common to almost all known

societies and periods of history. The Cambridge History of Warfare

provides a detailed account of war in the West from antiquity to

the present day, and is unique because of its controversial thesis

that war in western societies has followed a unique path leading to

western dominance of the globe. From the Greek victory at Marathon

to the Gulf War, readable and authoritative, The Cambridge History

of Warfare places in context the key events in the history of armed

engagement. All ***ects of war on land, sea, and in the air are

covered: weap*** and technology; strategy and defense; discipline

and intelligence; mercenaries and standing armies; cavalry and

infantry; chivalry and Blitzkrieg; guerilla assault and nuclear

arsenals. This volume, first published as The Cambridge Illustrated

History of Warfare, includes maps and an updated bibliography.

书籍介绍

A compelling subject, war is common to almost all known societies and almost all periods of history. The Cambridge History of Warfare is a comprehensive account of war in the West. The combined effort of seven leading experts, this book treats the history of all ***ects of the subject: the development of warfare on land, seas, and air; weap*** and technology; strategy and defense; discipline and intelligence; mercenaries and standing armies; cavalry and infantry; chivalry and blitzkreig; guerrilla assault and nuclea***arfare. It places in context particular key elements in the history of armed engagement, from the Greek victory at Marathon, through the advent of gunpower in medieval England and France, to the jungle warfare of Vietnam and the strategic air strikes of the Gulf War. Throughout, there is an emphasis on the socio-economic ***ects of military progress and how these help explain the rise of the West over the past two millenia to global military dominance.
