Reviews
This first work of a two-volume set serves as a solid introduction to ancient warfare. Carey analyzes the main tactical systems in light of Archer Jones's tactical matrix (heavy infantry, heavy cavalry, light infantry, light cavalry). Nice selection of key battles. Excellent diagrams and maps. Glossary and select bibliography. --Steven D. Fratt Oxford Bibliographies This is an interesting work with a lot of clearly presented information and will be useful to history students in military schools and to amateur historians. -- Journal of Military History (7/1/2006 12:00:00 AM)
