Examining the role and significance of weapons from the dawn of human history to the present, and the attempts of western civilization to come to terms with the grim results of its own inventiveness. This integrates the evolution of human society with the development of weapons and strategy, the author also draws upon anthropology, sociology, biology, and literature in his effort to explain certain recurring phenomena of warfare.

Origins of Modern Wars series. From the perspective of the 1980s the author shows that the modern map of the middle east is, in many respects, an arbitary creation of Imperial History. He looks at the Arab States and the British and french involvement, and considers the Balfour declaration of 1917, and Eisenhower's crucial stand over the Suez-Sinai war of 1956.

A daring counter attack, an unexpected manoeuvre, a stubborn refusal to be beaten and the impossible victory is won. In the ten dramatic episodes in this book, military historian Bryan Perrett revisits battles from the Peninsula War of 1811 to Vietnam in 1967, via colonial action in two world wars
