Series Review: Ancient WarfareThis eternally fascinating subject is presented in a well-organized, contextualized manner. The authors discuss the overarching history of the times and then get into specifics about weapons and military tactics. Each book includes a chapter on war at sea as well as one on a great leader or leaders. The authors focus on one battle per civilization, providing a detailed troop-movement illustration that takes up most of a spread. The volumes have different strengths. In Roman Warfare, for example, the leaders profiled are well chosen and represent many periods, and in Greek Warfare, the Fortress Cities chapter is an excellent summary of the many ancient Greek peoples. Overall, these titles cull the important information about each of these cultures and present it in easily understood paragraphs interspersed with photos, drawings, and maps, all in full-color. A strong purchase for reports and pleasure reading.School Library Journal
