The Cambridge Illustrated Atlas of Warfare by Nicholas Hooper
This is a highly readable account of European warfare from the Battle of Poitiers to the Wars of the Roses. With full-colour maps and illustration, the authors focus on military and naval culture, tactics, logistics, and science of warfare, revealing an unexpectedly sophisticated and varied military era.
'… This book, which should adorn the shelves of anyone interested in military history … As someone once wrote, geography is about maps and history is about chapsThis splendid, informative book is about both, and much else besides.' Raymond Ward, The School Librarian
'The principal strength of this book is that there is none other like it … For the specialist, the excellently drawn maps will be of considerable value and assistance; for the general reader, the clear account of campaigns and, more particularly, the concluding section of the book - the best overview I have seen of recent academic conclusions concerning the theory and practice of warfare - will entertain and instruct.' Anne Curry, University of Reading
