Soldiers, I am waiting to hear back from Dr. Tedesco on the status of my thesis. Once I hear back from her, and start revisions, I will get this up for you all to read.

A Brief Review of The History of Warfare

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 16:05:29 -0500

There are innumerable histories of warfare on the market, mostly with the same format: a chronological narration of tactics and weapons, a series of changes from prehistoric times until the nuclear era.
