Reseña del editor:
"A book of powerful, vividly illustrated short stories, each of which opens a whole new world to the reader. Except it's not fiction. It's good, well-argued and documented narrative history."
-The Charleston (S.C.) Post and Courier"Joseph Cummins' command of the facts and his first-rate storytelling makes The War Chronicles a pleasure to read." --Thomas J. Craughwell, author of The Rise and Fall of the Second Largest Empire in History and Failures of the Presidents
"Rejoice! Joseph Cummins has produced a work of prodigious scholarship that is comprehensive, groundbreaking in design, and fun to read--an impressive achievement." -Cormac O'Brien, author of The Forgotten History of America and Secret Lives of the U.S. Presidents
Provides a look at the significant battles, conflicts, and wars that shaped history and civilization in the process, in a study that ranges from ancient times to the beginning of the nineteenth century.

Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: new. 22 Centuries of Warfare, 22 Wars that Changed the World. All are captured in 400 pages filled with more than 150 archival illustrations gathered from around the world. The War Chronicles acts as a perfect primer for novices while offering seasoned history readers new perspectives on many famous and some not-so-well-known conflicts. Each chapter includes a quick-reference summary, a timeline, an overview of the war, essays on its principal leaders, a series of short, often offbeat features on aspects of the conflict, and a detailed account of a pivotal battle. Author Joseph Cummins highlights pivotal victories that changed nations, from the Norman invasion of England in 1066 to the Spanish conquest of Mexico in 1521, and delineates defining moments in the development of political philosophies, from Athens defense of democracy against Persian despotism to the championing of equal rights for all in the American Revolution. It recounts the heroism of armies and individuals, from the Spartans fight to the death against the Persians at Thermopylae in 480 BC to the Korean admiral who inspired his country to repel a massive Japanese invasion in the 1590s. Yet it does not shy away from showing the acts of savagery that characterize much warfare, describing, for example, the trail of devastation left by the Mongols as they cut a swath through Asia and Eastern Europe in the thirteenth century, and the atrocities perpetrated on German civilians by all sides in the Thirty Years War of the seventeenth century. Cummins main goal of illustrating the law of unintended consequences is nimbly achieved with gripping stories and lively writing. --Library Journal. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers DADAX159233296X
