Routledge A Global History of Pre-Modern Warfare Book

Expand your understanding of military history with this comprehensive volume from Routledge. While many historical texts focus on the rise of the West or the classical eras of Greece and Rome, this book provides a necessary shift in perspective. It examines the military histories of regions beyond Western Europe, covering a massive timeline from 10,000 BCE to 1500 CE. By looking at the eastern part of Eurasia, South America, Africa, and Australasia, this work explains the varied trajectories of warfare in non-Western societies. It challenges the common narrative that global military history is simply the story of the West. This text is an essential resource for students and readers interested in a truly global view of how conflict and strategy evolved across different continents before the modern era.
