The War Chronicles Vol. 1
From Chariots to Flintlocks
New Perspectives on the Two Thousand Years of Bloodshed That Shaped the Modern World
by Joseph Cummins
With its easy to digest format, this history looks at twenty-two armed conflicts, beginning with the Greco-Persian
Wars (500-449 BC) and the Punic Wars (264-146 BC) and concluding with the Seven Years' War (1756-63) and the
American Revolution (1775-83).
Along the way the author discusses other important wars such as the Norman Conquests (1066-71), the Hundred
Years' War (1337-1453) and the Ottoman-Hapsburg War (1663-1718). Over 170 illustrations along with biographies of
the key players in each conflict are included in this informative work that also illuminates the meaning and
consequences of these clashes that shaped the modern world. |
