Specifications
War: what is it good for? Absolutely something, surely, or we wouldn't keep doing it. What can we learn from ten wars that have changed world history? In A History of the World in Ten Wars, you will find out:
why the ancient Greeks decided to band together after fighting each other for centuries
where counterintelligence was first invented 2,000 years ago
how Chinese stirrups kicked off a European age of chivalry
the innovative guerrilla tactics of the Mongols
and why the so-called World Wars were really one very long war with a break for half-time.
Throughout the ages, each generation has faced the same questions. Am I willing to fight for my way of life? How can I come up with something the enemy hasn’t thought of? And the important one that people often forget to ask: is there a way of solving this amicably?
A History of the World in Ten Wars is a witty, whistlestop tour of world history that will have you laughing as you find out what they didn't teach you in school.
