The acclaimed author and preeminent military historian John Keegan
examines centuries of human conflict. From primitive man in the bronze
age to the end of the cold war in the twentieth century, Keegan shows
how armed conflict has been a primary preoccupation throughout the
history of civilization and how deeply rooted its practice has become in
our cultures.
"Keegan is at once the most readable and the most original of living
military historians . . . A History of Warfare is perhaps the most
remarkable study of warfare that has yet been written."--The New York
Times Book Review.
