DUPUY – DUPUY : The encyclopedia of military history (fülszöveg)
Here, in one massive volume, is a complete reference guide to the world's military history from ancient times through 1975. In this revised edition the authors have expanded the first edition (1970) to cover the Indo-China Wars, 1945-1975, the United States in Vietnam, 1965-1973, and the Arab-Israeli Wars, giving the most up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of military history. "Military history" is not only the description of wars and combat operations in general but also the concurrent growth of military art—its tactics, strategy and weaponry. Each major military event and its effect on world history is covered in exciting, concise, and complete detail.
This book, in preparation for over a decade, contains twenty-one chapters, each of which opens with a clear, succinct essay summarizing the highlights of the period—outstanding leaders, unusual developments, tactical and strategical trends—placing each major operation in its political and social perspective. A continent-by-continent assessment of wars and battles follows this background description and analysis. With over 250 maps and illustrations of weapons and fortifications, this is a book to satisfy the interest of the general reader as well as the historian.
