This book tells the story of war from the perspective of the participants, both in the rear and on the battlefront, ranging from the hoplites of ancient Greece to the soldiers of today's special forces, including medieval knights. It details the training of soldiers, combat tactics and techniques, and presents photographs of uniforms, weapons and personal equipment. The book traces the martial tradition through 30 key soldiers and warriors, including sailors and aviators, and another 70 treated in less detail. First-person accounts are included that evoke the glories and miseries of combat, as well as the daily life of the soldier behind the front lines.
