In this ambitious and influential study, military historian Azar Gat traces the evolution of warfare from prehistoric hunter-gatherer societies to the modern age. Combining insights from archaeology, anthropology, history, political science and evolutionary theory, he examines why humans wage war and how conflict has shaped the development of civilisation. Covering subjects from ancient empires and tribal warfare to the rise of the modern state and industrial warfare, this comprehensive volume has become a standard reference in the study of military history.
