THE NATURE OF WAR. HORW3395afrontcoverTHE NATURE OF WAR.

by John Keegan & Joseph Darracott.

Notes that throughout human history war engagements have been endless, punctuated occasionally by brief periods of peace. This volume presents the eternal sequence of the stages of war--from peace to outbreak, through campaigns, battles, sieges, invasions, retreats, Armageddon and the return to peace from surrender and aftermath. Eight chapters lead through the actual course of a war, presenting the sequence both as a historical account and with artistic renderings from a variety of periods and cultures. Color and black-and-white drawings and paintings, many historical, 276 extra-large-format pages.
