At all times, the outcome of the battles depended on what means and skills the warring parties possessed. In many ways, it was the war that served the development of technologies: whether people opened metals, whether new methods of movement or management of animals were invented - all this was used for the glory of weapons. Simultaneously with weapons, methods of battle were also improved. It became clear: to achieve your goal, it is not necessary to go ahead, and quality, as a rule, is more important than the quantity.
In this book, historian Andrei Dubrovsky analyzes the tactics and strategies characteristic of civilizations of antiquity - Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Carthage and others, talks about the main types of weapons and uniforms, the types of troops and about important for the ancient world military ranks.
This book opens a new series telling about weapons and wars in different eras - from antiquity to the 20th century. In the following volumes of the series, we will again witness cruel conquests, armed conflicts and bloody clashes of countries, peoples and civilizations. The war will remain an inevitable companion of mankind. But will it be the same war? Weapons, tactics, technologies will change more rapidly and radical. Powerful Empires of nomads will leave the historical arena. The revolution in military affairs will commit gunpowder. Closer to our times, the completely unprecedented "monsters" - fighting vehicles, and then the battles" will spill into the sky, will come to the battlefields. Showing the unsightly sides of the war, speaking of the destruction and chaos that it carries, the author emphasizes that interest in military history is primarily an interest in the past, and not a thirst for war in the present.
For secondary and senior school age
