Encyclopedia of Warrior Peoples and Fighting Groups

0.0

From Library Journal: Davis (Encyclopedia of Invasions and Conquests: From Ancient to Modern Times, LJ 1/97) and Hamilton (history, St. Philip's Coll.) here approach their subject from the viewpoint of the people involved. Drawn from a wide variety of cultures and time periods, groups range from specialized military units such as the Green Berets and Varangian Guard to peoples organized in a military structure, such as the Hittites and Zulus. The encyclopedia is in standard A-to-Z format, with an index to locate subtopics. Each well-written, analytical entry includes more detail than would be found in a general encyclopedia and three references for further exploration of the topic. This work is especially suitable for high school students, undergraduates, and general readers with an interest in military history. Stephen H. Peters, Northern Michigan Univ.
