Format:Hardcover
Excellent "source" book. Brilliant Chapter descripitions foreshadowing well researched and thorough blow by blow accounts of the Military rise and fall of city states , nations and societies through out history. The one book you can never say you have completely read. There is so much information you will go back time and time again to reference.

One of the most comprehensive works of military history
available, this is a must-have for anyone interested in the
subject. Not only does this work detail every significant
recorded military conflict since 3500 BC, but it sheds light
on the methods, tactics, weapons, leaders, technologies,
great captains, and innovations with which these conflicts
were fought. Truly, R. Ernest and Trevor N. Dupuy's work
should be at the center of any military historian's library,
whether he be a serious scholar or just an armchair general.

Yes, this book tries to cover everything in military history, but it abounds in slips and errors. For example, its authors write that 'hungarians are related racially and linguisticaly to both Finns and Turks' ( that's a strange hybrid, indeed ); 'Khazars were Turks and probably descendent from Huns' ( nobody knows for sure who were Huns, but certainly not Turks ) and so on.
Thus, in my opinion, this book is rather mediocre, and hardly can be called a serious and impartial historical reference.
