Most studies of ancient warfare limit their focus to the Greeks and the Romans. With Arrow, Sword, and Spear covers the whole of the ancient world from Greece and Rome to the empires of the Near East (e.g., Assyrian, Persian), then further east to Parthia, India, and China. Author Alfred S. Bradford drops his readers right into the midst of battle, behind such great leaders as Thutmose III, Ashurbanipal, Alexander the Great, Hannibal, Julius Caesar, and the first emperor of China. - Publisher.
First sentence: By the time the Iliad was written, the civilizations of the Near East had been waging organized warfare for more than two thousand years.
