Makers of Ancient StrategySecondary Title
From the Persian Wars to the Fall of RomeDescription
Makers of Ancient Strategy is a prequel to "Makers of Modern Strategy". The author of Makers of Ancient Strategy (a leading scholar of ancient military history), asks prominent thinkers to explore key facets of warfare, strategy, and foreign policy in the Greco-Roman world. From the Persian Wars to the final defence of the Roman Empire, the book demonstrates that the military thinking and policies of the ancient Greeks and Romans remain surprisingly relevant for understanding conflict in the modern world. The book reveals that much of the organized violence witnessed today - such as counter-terrorism, urban fighting, insurgencies, pre-emptive war, and ethnic cleansing - has ample precedent in the classical era.Category
