The Cambridge History of Warfare

Great way to learn about the history of war

軍事史研究のために購入しました。西ヨーロッパ世界を中心にした軍事上の技術と戦略の変遷について、各時代ごとの著名な研究者が、紀元前の歩兵から今日のミサイル攻撃に至るまで各章ごとに論述しています。資料として年表、用語解説、参考文献もあります。梱包時も厳重なラッピングに箱入りの状態で、ペーパーバックの本に起こりがちな表紙端の欠損も全くありませんでした。 It is a finest book of tactics, technology of military history with revised and updated. There is many references for chrolonology of warefare to study and research. Amazon delivery is very carefully for paper back books to protect damage of edge of papers.

Loved it, best book for beginners & children.

This is an amazing book! It covers many different areas and regions and helps you understand how warfare was developed and the effect of tactics, science, technology, and culture on the battlefield. While reading it, you will discover that some well-known facts are actually inaccurate or even completely wrong. The illustrations are very beneficial to understanding the area, weapons, advances, and more. An amazing military history book! Highly recommend!

This is an outstanding read. Many of the reviews already say things that I don't feel a need to parrot - Just know that this is a fully comprehensive history and lesson on Western warfare, and goes in to intricate detail about what made the western method so successful. It is not, however, a compare\contrast of other types of warfare - So if you're after something along the lines of "Why Asian methods of warfare are 'x' compared to Western warfare's 'y' " - you won't find it here.
