Résumé :
Timelines of War is the first-ever chronology of all of the wars, revolutions, battles, leaders, and weapons that have played such an enormous role in human history.
From the rise of Assyria, the siege of Troy, and the century-long Chinese-Hun war two thousand years ago to the massive world wars, revolutions, and superpower conflicts that have plagued our century; from Caesar and Genghis Khan to Napoleon and Schwarzkopf; and from the invention of the slingshot to the creation of the atom bomb, this magnificent volume displays, at a glance, significant world events and war-related developments from 100,000 BC to the present day.
Organized in an easy-to-follow format that allows readers to link or compare events and people across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, North and South America, Asia, and the Pacific in any given period, Timelines of War is a sweeping overview of history that highlights fascinating developments in military science and technology as well as important landmarks in the quest for peace.
Unparalleled in both its vast scope and precise detail - and containing extensive chronologies of major modern conflicts like the American Civil War and World War II - Timelines of War presents a remarkable panorama of human history, both at war and at peace.
