Synopsis
This large-format 2,500-year history of warfare is truly global in scope. Distinguished international historians and military experts provide an enthralling overview of the careers and leadership of the world's greatest commanders on land, at sea and in the air, from Cyrus the Great in ancient Persia to Vo Nguyen Giap in twentieth-century Vietnam. Uniquely, the story is told from the viewpoint of the leading protagonists and shot through with informed insights about changes in the nature of war, tactics and strategies over time and the varied issues of command. Getting to the heart of what makes a 'great commander' this is essential reading for anyone interested in military history. More than one hundred of the finest military leaders in history are covered in detail, whilst a comprehensive reference section brings the total number up to two hundred and fifty including Alexander the Great, Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Saladin, Chingiz Khan, Napoleon, Wellington, Nelson, Ulysses S. Grant, Erich von Manstein, Georgy Zhukov. So too are less familiar figures, such as bold Czech and Hungarian leaders of the Middle Ages; Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the 'Napoleon of Japan'; and Nader Shah, the Persian conqueror of the eighteenth century. Richly illustrated with photographs, contemporary portraits and battle scenes, and images of weapons and uniforms, and featuring more than one hundred and twenty specially commissioned full-colour campaign maps, battle plans and 3-D battle reconstructions., This authoritative and magnificentlyl illustrated book examines the entire history of the war through the eyes of the leading protagonists, from Cyrus the Great in the sixth century BC to Vo Nguyen Giap in the twentieth century. Truly worldwide in scope, the book ranges from China to India to Africa, and from Europe to the Americas, focusing in detail on more than one hundred major military leaders, their associates, and their opponents. All the great commanders are here: Alexander the Great, Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Saladin, Chingiz Khan, Napolean, Wellington, Nelson, Ulysses S. Grant, Erich von Manstein, and Georgy Zhukov. So too are less familiar figures, such as Jan Zizka and János Hunyadi, bold Czech and Hungarian leaders of the Middle Ages; Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Napolean of Japan; and Nader Shah, the Persian conqueror of the eighteenth century. The large format allows for a full display of the illustrations, from portraits and battlefield scenes to weapons and uniforms, plus spectacular battle reconstructions. There are specially comissioned campaign maps for each major leader, plus a reference section that includes concise biographies of 250 commanders.

- m***a (260)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book was in exactly the condition described in the listing. I generally don’t buy books that only have one photo.It was shipped quickly. The book arrived via Amazon box truck and was in Amazon packaging, so I assume this seller also lists books on Amazon. I wish I had known this as I am trying to not shop Amazon. I just think other buyers might want to know this. Still, the book was packed with care in a bubble envelope. Shipping costs were reasonable, but there was no tracking available.The Anne of Green Gables Cookbook by Macdonald (#187076052775)
