Where did wargames come from? Who participated in them, and why?
How is their development related to changes in real-life warfare?
Which aspects of war did they capture, which ones did they leave
out, how, and why? What do they tell us about the conduct of war in
the times and places where they were played? How useful are they in
training and preparation for war? Why are some so much more popular
than others, and how do men and women differ in their interest?
Starting with the combat of David versus Goliath, passing through
the gladiatorial games, tournaments, trials by battle, duels, and
board games such as chess, all the way to the latest simulations
and computer games, this unique book traces the subject in all its
splendid richness. As it does so, it provides new and occasionally
surprising insights into human nature.
