Description

Richard Gabriel has been studying and writing about ancient warfare for nearly half a century.

He has written fifty-five books on the subject (before this one) and over three hundred published articles.

These decades of scholarship are complemented by direct military experience as a US army officer (now retired).

This book presents his thoughts and perspectives on a selection of aspects of ancient warfare that he has found of particular interest over the years.

It does not aim to be a comprehensive overview nor a coherent narrative of ancient military history but adds up to an illuminating, fascinating and wide-ranging discussion of various topics.

With topics ranging from broad topics such as the origins of war, through logistics, military medicine and psychiatry or the origins of jihad, to specifics such as the generalship of Alexander the Great (Gabriel's not a fan), Scipio and Hannibal, there is plenty here for the either the general reader or academic scholar.
