This is without a doubt one of DK’s finest history offerings in several years. (All About History); Some depictions of human conflict acquire such a charm over centuries, we half forget we are seeing a bloodbath. Others have an enduring power to appal. Recent documentary photographs strike a chill. This lavishly illustrated chronicle of warfare explores epic battles that turned the historic tide – from Manzikert to Marston Moor to the Middle East – while reminding us that nothing really changes.
