The art of war: war and military thought (prijs 8,50 euro)
Warriors have always understood that combat is an art requiring sharp, flexible minds capable of adapting quickly to constantly shifting situations. In a survey that looks widely across history and cultures, the theories of some of the finest military thinkers and strategists unfold. The story begins with ancient Chinese tacticians, especially Sun Tzu, and then proceeds to the age of classical antiquity; to Byzantine and medieval Western thought; to Machiavelli and his time; and to the true greats like Clausewitz. We head into the modern age with a look at the 19th century, naval warfare, the two World Wars, nuclear strategy, and guerrilla insurrections.
...a look at world military history via diverse works of art....packs enormous sweeps of history into chapters like 'Chinese Military Thought,' 'The Nineteenth Century' and 'Naval Warfare,'...copious illustrations (in b&w and color), excellent maps and clear prose..."--Publisher's Weekly.
Land warfare: the encyclopedia of 20th century conflict (prijs: 7,50)
At the end of the 20th century one can look back on a period of unprecedented acceleration in the technology of the battlefield - from rifles and early machine-guns to rockets and tactical nuclear weapons. During these hundred years, punctuated by two world wars, hundreds of wars were fought around the globe; and some continue to this day.
This encyclopedia sets out to provide, in one concise volume, an authoritative, illustrated reference to the men, machines and events that shaped this century of war.
This volume concerns with a chronology of events, from which the reader will be able to chart the century in each war theatre, before turning to an alphabetical listing of important equipment, weaponry, units and formations, theatres of war and locations. Thereafter the forces of seven countries and six other geographical areas are described, followed by biographies of 160 of the leading personalities of warfare in the century. Interwoven amongst these sections are twenty special features including such topics as women soldiers, matters of supply and transportation in the field, the airborne soldier, the work of United Nations forces, and the treatment of wounded.
This illustrated reference will serve the needs of personal students, professional historians and libraries of all types and function. The author, George Forty, is well known to readers of military history and is a respected authority on the waging of war by land in the 20th century.
The renaissance at war (prijs 8,50 euro)
Part of a unique venture: the twenty-four volume Cassell History of Warfare series that captures the entire history of warfare. Thomas Arnold is a world-renowned historian, and Professor of Military History at Yale. Fully Illustrated throughout, incorporating computer generated cartography that brings the battlefields to life.
