The Timechart of Military History book sets out to place the battles and wars of history in their correct perspective, allowing the reader to follow events across the continents. As Dr. David G. Chandler, formerly head of the Department of War Studies, Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, points out in his Foreword, the years of peace in the history of humanity are dwarfed by the years of war. |

5,000 years of warfare are the subject matter of the spectacular, full-color book. From the ancient Egyptians to today's guerrilla warriors and high-tech armies, the whole history of the world's battles and wars are chronicled and illustrated. Even a brief glance at the pages of this timechart will demonstrate that the age in which we live is peaceful indeed by comparison with earlier epochs. But many elements of warfare remain the same – ‘ethnic cleansing’, recently so notoriously practiced in the Balkans, is little different from the sate policy of the Assyrian Empire some three thousand years ago. |
