The Encyclopedia of Land Warfare is a magnificent volume recording the tremendous changes and advances which have occurred in both weaponry and military transportation, during the 20th Century. In more than 100,000 words it describes how long and tiring marches, with perhaps bayonet charges at the end of them, have given way to combat troops being airlifted across entire continents, complete with all the sophisticated, automatic weapons they would need in battle.

Expert commentators of world repute have detailed the major battles in two horrific world wars and the many other conflicts throughout the world. The book presents a fascinating insight into the sometimes brilliant, often disastrous, strategic and tactical planning behind the battles.

Over 90 full colour and line drawings illustrate the most influential weapons, which are authoritatively described in great detail. These are complemented by more that 200 action pictures, many in full colour, together with authenticated maps and diagrams of major battles and actions.

The Encyclopedia of Land Warfare is a unique compilation of historical facts, informed comment, pictures of armoured fighting vehicles and weapons, and the heroic men who used them. You will enjoy reading and referring to this magnificent book for many years to come.
