Description
The Cavalry unites two enthralling aspects of military life before the advent of the tanks, the functions and behavior of horses in war and the duties, training, traditions and deeds of the men who rode them into battle. This fascinating subject is superbly illustrated with more than 200 paintings, drawings, engravings and new battle maps.
From the archers of Assyria to the lancers of World War 1, the story has a span of some 3,000 years. It is told by a team of military historians, all of whom are authorities on the periods they have covered in their respective chapters. The Cavalry provides fascinating insight into the evolution of the cavalry, the battles fought, and the tactics used by these masters of warfare.
