This book is a companion piece to an earlier work by Joseph Cummins titled The War Chronicles: From Chariots to Flintlocks: New Perspectives on the Two Thousand Years of Bloodshed that Shaped the Modern World. Both works can best be described as 'history-lite'. These are not works for the serious student of history but rather for school students, military cadets or those with a general interest in military history. They are both written very much for a generation raised on 'sound bite' journalism and cable TV history channels which encapsulate complex historical events in a 30-minute show.
