A Dictionary of Military History (and the Art of War)
Corvisirer, Andre (University of Paris) / Childs, John
From the Battle of Actium to Zhukov, this is a wide-ranging, international reference book of new military history. It deals with the people, battles, campaigns, wars, countries, weapons and institutions which have fundamentally affected the nature and development of warfare. The book has a particular concern with civil--military relations and the role of armed forces in society.
