War by Richard Overy
The object of this book is to introduce readers to a whole range of military history which has all the drama, dangers, horrors and excitement that we associate with Stalingrad or the Somme. Battles are acute moments of history whenever and wherever they have been fought. Through them we can understand how warfare and world history have evolved.Praise for ‘The Times Complete History of the World’:
‘One of the great works of historical reference in the English languageIf you were allowed only one history book in the whole of your life, The Times Complete History of the World would be hard to beat because it conveys a sense not only of time, but also of place’ Niall Ferguson, Professor of History, Harvard University.
‘Wonderfully told history … comprehensive and utterly accessible’ Jon Snow
