HACKETT GENERAL SIR JOHN

Warfare in the Ancient World

London, Guild Publishing. 1989, reprint. Hard Cover, 4to - over 9? - 12" tall. edited by General Sir John Hackett, published by Sidgwick & Jackson 1989,this edition published by GUILD BOOKS pp256 Reviewer: Chris Bates "This is probably the only book to really challenge Warry's 'Warfare in the Classical World'. This book does differ in several ways , notably it covers a broader timescale including chapters on the beginnings of warfare and the Assyrians. The bulk of the book however concentrates on the Graeco-Roman period, the various chapters being the work of individual contributors (including one dedicated to Alexander the Great by Dr Albert Devine). This book is much more academically inclined than Warry's; most chapters list the primary sources utilised, whilst there is also a bibliography of secondary sources used. The text is supported by excellent illustrations, courtesy of Peter Connolly, which really bring home the reality of what a phalanx looked like and the depiction of the phalanx clash at second Coronea could cause sleepless nights!" as new copy in DW.
