Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From the flint weapons of prehistory to the sophisticated nuclear missiles of today, archaeologists are unearthing and documenting the dramatic story of warfare--"in so many ways, the story of human history itself. New discoveries have revealed what really happened at key battles, military strategies, technological advances, and the impact of warfare and violence on civilian societies.

Book News Annotation:

Articles from the journal of the Archaeology Institute of America report the findings of archaeologists concerning warfare from the flint weapons of prehistory to the ballistic missiles of today. Among the topics are Maori fortifications similar to Celtic counterparts, women warriors from beyond the Danube in a Roman military cemetery, evidence from a mass grave in Lithuania on Napoleon's retreat from Moscow, and the mangled artifacts and lunar landscape of the Nevada Test Site.

Tracing the evolution of warfare from Paleolithic times to today.

From the flint weapons of prehistory to the sophisticated nuclear missiles of today, archaeologists are unearthing and documenting the dramatic story of warfare--in so many ways, the story of human history itself.

- the discovery of a 13,000-year-old arrow-shooting victim

- the recovery of Kublai Khan's invasion fleet off the coast of Japan

- the excavation of a mass grave of Napoleon's Army in Lithuania

- the reanalysis of a battle between the Buffalo Soldiers and the Apache
