The Armies of Ancient Persia: the Sassanians
ISBN: 9781848848450 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Throughout most of the classical period, Persia was one of the great superpowers, placing a limit on the expansion of Western powers. It was the most formidable rival to the Roman Empire for centuries, until Persia, by then under the Sassanians, was overwhelmed by the Islamic conquests in the seventh century AD. Yet, the armies of ancient Persia have received relatively little detailed attention, certainly in comparison to those of Rome. This work is the first of three volumes (though chronologically the last) that will form the most comprehensive study of ancient Persian armies available....

Mastering the West: Rome and Carthage at War
ISBN: 9780199860104 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. To say the Punic Wars (264-146 BC) were a turning point in world history is a vast understatement.

To later observers, a collision between these civilizations seemed inevitable and yet to the Romans and Carthaginians at the time hostilities first erupted seemingly out of nowhere, with what were expected to be inconsequential results. Mastering the West offers a thoroughly engrossing narrative of this century of...

Early Iron Age Greek Warrior 1100-700 BC
ISBN: 9781472815590 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-10 dni roboczych. The period from the 12th century onward saw vast changes in every aspect of life on both the Greek mainland and islands, as monarchies disappeared to be replaced by aristocratic rule and finally by the development of a new form of community: the city-state. Alongside these changes, a new style of warfare developed, which was to be the determining factor in land warfare in Greece, until the 338 BC defeat of the Greek city-state, by the might of Macedonia at Chaeronea. This mode of warfare was based on a group of heavily armed infantrymen organized in a phalanx formation--the classic...

ISBN: 9781476666020 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. It has been 2500 years since the Greek heavy infantry known as hoplites dominated the battlefield. Yet they still capture the imagination today, through a wave of successful action films, novels and documentaries.

Drawing on classical literature, archaeology and the latest data from physical, behavioral and medical science, this study of hoplite equipment, tactics and command seeks to separate modern myths from observable facts. The authors resolve some persistent...
