A three title volume on warfare in the ancient world
No student of warfare in the ancient world should be without
Eugene S. McCartney's brilliant work on the subject. This book
appears in its entirety as the first piece in this special Leonaur
edition which also includes campaign and battlefield maps absent
from other editions. McCartney's research is exemplary; he not only
gives examples of every aspect of Roman and Greek military tactics,
formation, organisation, logistics, engineering and weapons but
also provides numerous examples of how and when they were
employed-successfully or otherwise-by describing relevant campaigns
and engagements. What makes this Leonaur volume particularly
important for military historians is that reference is frequently
made to Creasy's classic work on the fifteen most decisive battles
in history. Five of these conflicts took place in the ancient
period and Creasy's learned essays on these battles have been
included here for easy reference when reading the principal text.
Also cited in the principal text is Ralph Payne-Gallwey's work on
ancient artillery, such as the balista and catapult; that, complete
with its excellent and detailed line drawings, concludes an
essential volume that will enhance any library on warfare in the
ancient world. Recommended.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.

In Upper Asia, beyond the Euphrates, the direct and material
influence of Greek ascendancy was more short-lived. Yet, during the
existence of the Hellenic kingdoms in these regions, especially of
the Greek kingdom of Bactria, the modern Bokhara, very important
effects were produced on the intellectual tendencies and tastes of
the inhabitants of those countries and of the adjacent ones, by the
animating contact of the Grecian spirit.
