From Armageddon to the Fall of Rome

Více o knize

From Armageddon to the Fall of Rome is the story of myth makers. Brave and reckless, intelligent and foolish, lucky and ill-fated, their battles were won and lost by ruse, trickery, chance, stupidity and by unsurpassed military brilliance. This was the crucible of civilisation, when a single conqueror could change the world." "Erik Durschmied analyses seventeen of ancient history's most fascinating and brutal battles, some of which have been almost forgotten, but all of which changed the shape of the world and set the borders of our future."--Jacket.
