CHARIOT by Arthur Cotterell The chariot changed the face of ancient warfare. First in West Asia and Egypt, then in India and China, charioteers dominated the battlefield. In 1274 BC at Kadesh in present-day Syria - where the untried pharaoh Ramesses II was nearly defeated by the Hittites - 5,000 chariots were deployed in battle. Its use as a war machine is graphically recounted in Indian epics and Chinese chronicles. Homer's Iliad tells of the attack on Troy by Greek heroes who rode in chariots. In 326 BC Alexander the Great faced charioteers in northern India, while in 55 BC, on a Kent beach, Julius Caesar was met by British chariots2004, Pimlico Publications, , 0712669426,< A-01>,344pp illustrations, Fine in dw, , Subject...Early Warfare - GeneralWeb No. 35897-01..............................£8.00 |

JOAN OF ARC : A MILITARY LEADER by Kelly DeVries Where previous works have concentrated on the religious and feminist aspects of Joan's career, this is the first to address the vital issue of what it was that made her the heroine she became. Why did the soldiers of France follow a woman into battle when no troops of the Hundred Years War had done so before, and how was she able to win? The English called her a whore, and believed her to be possessed, but her own troops trusted her without any proof of her abilities. 1999, Sutton Publishing, , 0750918055,< A-01>,242pp, 16 colour plates & numerous b/ w illustrations, New in d/w, , Subject...Early Warfare - GeneralWeb No. 32327-02..............................£6.00 |
