Studying not only the histories of Greece and Rome, but also the Near East, Parthia, India and China, Bradford (U. of Oklahoma) explores the battles of the ancient world, following their changing relationships with the rise and fall of empires, the roles of leadership and technology, and the developments of strategy and tactics. He discusses the differences in the sociology of the groups at war, including recruitment and the various ways by which governments prepared for war, and argues that while technology (particularly the compound bow and the chariot) lead to some victories, it was more often the more organized and socially innovative force who found the ultimate victories. Heavily illustrated with maps and reproductions of art depicting ancient battles and warriors. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
