War: The Definitive Visual History [Hardcover]

Conflict across the long record of organised warfare gets a large-scale visual treatment here rather than a single campaign study. At 512 pages this sits among the heavier titles in DK's visual history line, and the extra length shows in how much ground one volume is asked to hold. Photographs, artefacts and illustration carry a substantial share of the explanation, with the written passages supplying context around them. The hardcover format is practical for a book of this bulk, and the scale makes it as much a reference to return to over years as a book to read front to back in one go. What to expect: • A 512-page hardback substantial enough to serve as a household reference • Coverage spanning eras instead of concentrating on one war • Visual explanation carrying much of the weight alongside the text • A DK production, with the design discipline that implies Suited to history readers, secondary-school students and gift buyers looking for something lasting, and it can be ordered through Boipoka.
