Atlas Of Military History

From prehistoric battles fought with stone weapons to a modern war defined by drones and computer-guided missiles, this atlas traces the full arc of military history. Authoritative text, photographs and maps follow the leaders who shaped it, among them Queen Boudicca rallying the Britons against Roman rule and Alexander the Great extending his empire through conquest. The two World Wars are charted alongside their long legacies, including the Cold War and the emergence of the United States as a global superpower, before the account moves into more recent terrorist attacks and the Arab Spring.
