About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
War: what is it good for? Absolutely something, surely, or we wouldn't keep doing it.
What can we learn from ten wars that have changed world history?
In A History of the World in Ten Wars, you will find out:
- why the ancient Greeks decided to band together after fighting each other for centuries
- where counterintelligence was first invented 2,000 years ago
- how Chinese stirrups kicked off a European age of chivalry
- the innovative guerrilla tactics of the Mongols
- and why the so-called World Wars were really one very long war with a break for half-time.
Throughout the ages, each generation has faced the same questions. Am I willing to fight for my way of life? How can I come up with something the enemy hasn’t thought of? And the important one that people often forget to ask: is there a way of solving this amicably?
A History of the World in Ten Wars is a witty, whistlestop tour of world history that will have you laughing as you find out what they didn't teach you in school.
