Command, strategy and the people who directed campaigns are the territory this hardcover military history covers.
Published by DK across 360 pages, it belongs to the illustrated reference tradition that publisher is known for, where written explanation is set against visual material rather than presented as unbroken prose. That arrangement suits a subject as broad as warfare, because a reader can follow the thread of a full chapter or stop at a single spread and still come away with something usable. The hardback binding gives it the durability a reference title needs on a shelf that actually gets handled, and the page count is generous enough to treat the subject at more than headline level.
Why it earns a place on the shelf:
• Hardcover edition running to 360 pages
• Published by DK, a name long associated with illustrated reference
• Military history approached through leadership and strategy rather than dates alone
• Built for browsing as readily as for continuous reading
A solid pick for military history readers, students of strategy and anyone building a non-fiction reference shelf, and it is available from Boipoka.
