ISBN: 9780192804709 / Angielski / Miękka / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) 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...

Clausewitz in English: The Reception of Clausewitz in Britain and America, 1815-1945
ISBN: 9780195083835 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This intellectual history examines the reception of Carl von Clausewitz's military theories in Britain and the United States.

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...

Cawkwell's views are at many points original: in particular, his explanation of how and why the Persian invasion of Greece failed challenges the prevailing orthodoxy, as does his view of the importance of Persia in Greek affairs...
