ISBN: 9780192804709 / Angielski / Miękka / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Greek and Roman warfare was unlike that of any other culture before or since.

Here, Harry Sidebottom looks at how this Western Way of War was constructed and maintained by the Greeks and Romans and why this concept is so prevalent today.
All aspects of ancient warfare are thoroughly examined--from philosophy and strategy to the technical skills needed to fight. Sidebottom examines war in the...

Of Arms and Men : A History of War, Weapons, and Aggression
ISBN: 9780195053609 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The appearance of the crossbow on the European battle field in A.D. 1100 as the weapon of choice for shooting down knights threatened the status quo of medieval chivalric fighting techniques. By 1139 the Church had intervened, outlawing the use of the crossbow among Christians. With this edict, arms control was born.
As Robert L. O'Connell reveals in this vividly written history of weapons in Western culture, that first attempt at an arms control measure characterizes the complex and often paradoxical relationship between men and arms throughout the centuries. In a sweeping narrative that... The appearance of the crossbow on the European battle field in A.D. 1100 as the weapon of choice for shooting down knights threatened the status quo o...

Clausewitz in English : The Reception of Clausewitz in Britain and America, 1815-1945
ISBN: 9780195083835 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This intellectual history examines the reception of Carl von Clausewitz's military theories in Britain and the United States. In the first comprehensive study of the literature, Christopher Bassford argues that the impact of Clausewitzian theory has been underestimated and he follows the trail of Clausewitzian influence from pre-1873 Britain to 1945. Bassford finds that among those who explicitly discussed Clausewitz and his theories were soldiers, journalists, historians, political scientists and propagandists. In bringing this literature to light, Clausewitz in English makes a...
