520 _aTracing the epic 5,000-year story of warfare from the earliest battles to the War on Terror, The Military History Book explores and explains the causes and consequences of each, offering a new angle on military history. Entries analyze the key social and political driving forces, the arms and armaments, and the technologies and tactics of war from 5,000 years ago to the present day--from the tactics of early infantry and siege craft to the rise of naval combat steel, steam, and shellfire to trench warfare and aerial dogfights to chemical weapons and cyber warfare.
