Description

Explore the deep roots of human conflict with this revised edition of The Origins Of War. While many military histories focus on the Graeco-Persian wars and Greek infantry, this book takes a different path. It traces the beginnings of warfare back nearly 10,000 years to the very emergence of settled life. This work examines the massive military revolution that occurred when humans transitioned to permanent settlements. You will learn about the invention of major new weapons and the construction of massive fortifications that changed the course of history. The text follows this evolution through the creation of strategy and tactics that eventually built the great war machines of ancient Egypt and beyond. Perfect for readers interested in military history and the development of ancient civilizations, this book provides a unique perspective on how warfare shaped the world from the Stone Age through the era of Alexander the Great. It offers a look at the transition from early survival to the complex organized combat of the ancient world.
