The Armies of Ancient Persia: the Sassanians
ISBN: 9781848848450 / Angielski / Twarda / 504 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 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. 22-25 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...

Military Thought in Early China
ISBN: 9781438465173 / Angielski / Twarda / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. This study of the philosophy of war in early China examines the recurring debate, from antiquity through the Western Han period (202 BCE-8 CE), about how to achieve a proper balance between martial (wu) force and civil (wen) governance in the pursuit of a peaceful state. Rather than focusing solely on Sunzi's Art of War and other military treatises from the Warring States era (ca. 475-221 BCE), Christopher C. Rand analyzes the evolution of this debate by examining a broad corpus of early Han and pre-Han texts, including works uncovered in archeological excavations during...
