The Encyclopedia of Military History from 3500 B.C. to the Present

Rating:
Summary: A must read for the military enthusiast
Review: This is a very robust book covering military history up to the end of the Viet Nam war. It is broken down into chronological snipets that are grouped by locale. At just over 1,300 pages, it paints a good picture of the battlefield primarily at the strategic level. The authors did include a good deal of tactics as well as new technology also. This is a great book for research of military history.
