An authoritative and comprehensive history of a perennially interesting subject.
David Gates was Deputy Director and Senior Fellow of the Centre for Defence and International Security Studies. He is the author of The Spanish Ulcer, and lives in Lancashire.

sure guide to the wars whose effects were felt well into the
twentieth century
