Description
The "Great Captains" frequently looked to crucial battles to learn lessons that they themselves employed. While the battles of antiquity have often been examined, Western generals looked to the wars of the Greeks and the Romans, the Chinese to their own campaigns, and so on. Never before have military leaders and other students of military history had the benefit of a systematic look at the key battles throughout the ancient world. In this volume, Gabriel and Boose examine the 31 wars, campaigns or battles from Megiddo (1479 B.C.) to the fall of Constantinople (A.D. 1453) that had the greatest impact on the ancient world, stretching from the Mediterranean through the Middle East to Japan and Korea.

Reviews:
-...a well written book grand in scope and design, and worthy of study by soldiers and statesmen alike. The breadth and depth of this book is worthy of volumes, but the four-step methodology employed by the authors serves them well in limiting its scope. The analysis in all four categories is superb. The authors are meticulous in their presentation of the impact of culture on warfare. This book serves as a primer on how to integrate culture into military history without diluting the importance of either in society. —Armor
