L'Organisation de l'armée sous les Antigonids
The Identification and Retrieval of the Hoplite Battle-Dead
In the first confrontation of legion and phalanx King Pyrrhus of Epirus faced the Romans at Heracleia in 280 BC. The Epirote initiated contact by personally leading a cavalry charge. His gleaming, highly decorated armor immediately marked the king in a display of valor equal to his reputation. ‘Most of all,’ Plutarch says, while offering his prowess and physical presence to the contest and stoutly fending off opponents, he did not blur his power …

Ancient Siege Warfare (review)
The new prominence of sieges in medieval historiography and the profusion of "face of battle" studies suggest a context for bringing the topics of the military techniques and moral horrors of ancient sieges together in a monograph. Paul Kern wishes to study the interaction between siegecraft and moral standards of conduct, in the belief that some understanding of the nature of war can be gained from the blurred distinction of combatants and nonco…
The Book of Deeds of Arms and of Chivalry
It is unexpected in any era to find a woman writing a book on the art of warfare, but in the fifteenth century it was unbelievable. Not surprisingly, therefore, Christine de Pizan's The Book of Deeds of Arms and of Chivalry, written around 1410, has often been regarded with disdain. Many have assumed that Christine was simply copying or pilfering earlier military manuals. But, as Sumner Willard and Charity Cannon Willard show in this faithful Eng…

War and Society in the Greek World
The Late Byzantine Army
The late Byzantine period was a time characterized by both civil strife and foreign invasion, framed by two cataclysmic events: the fall of Constantinople to the western Europeans in 1204 and again to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. Mark C. Bartusis here opens an extraordinary window on the Byzantine Empire during its last centuries by providing the first comprehensive treatment of the dying empire's military. Although the Byzantine army was highly vi…
Vegetius
The only Latin art of war to survive, Vegetius' Epitome was for long a part of the medieval prince's military education. The core of his proposals, the maintenance of a professional standing army, was revolutionary for medieval Europe, while his theory of deterrence through strength remains the foundation of modern Western defence policy

Terrorism and military theory
Late twentieth‐century terrorism should be viewed as a form of war and falls within the framework of military theory. Terrorism, like guerrilla warfare a form of unconventional warfare, represents a revival of primitive (or pre‐state) warfare. Distinctions of terrorism from guerrilla warfare are formalistic and ignore options to conduct and actual practice. The historical roots of contemporary terrorism are examined. Besides Classical doctrine on…
Judas Maccabaeus
The Western Way of War
Classical scholars and military historians have long held that pitched infantry battle in ancient Greek society evolved as a necessary alternative to the more fundamental but exhausting business of warfare, which was the ravaging and destruction of crops - Victor Hanson turns all this on its head. This book continully relates the graphic details of Greek warfare to problems of conflict in our own society

Battle
Assessment of Greek land warfare must also reckon with currently popular 'face-of-battle' studies. Viewed positively, the 'face-of-battle' approach has revived attention to the role of morale in battle and the details of small unit combat. For some a phalanx can be found in Homer and the introduction of hoplite armour did not 'revolutionize' warfare. The Persian Wars and fifth-century Athenian imperialism would call the agonal system into questio…
