Bronze Age War Chariots

by Brian Delf, Nic Fields
Bronze Age War Chariots - Thryft
Bronze Age War Chariots - Thryft

Deciphering Bronze Age military innovation and tactics.

If you're fascinated by ancient warfare, "Bronze Age War Chariots" is a treasure trove of historical military engineering. It draws you into a world where chariots were the peak of warfare sophistication, revolutionizing how battles were fought and empires were forged. This book isn't just a dry historical text; it's a vivid journey through time describing the evolution and strategic significance of war chariots in a way that could almost let you hear the thundering of hooves and the clash of Bronze weapons.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Chariots, the first mobile fighting vehicle, seem to have originated in Mesopotamia in the third millennium BC. The highly mobile two-wheeled war chariot, carrying a driver and an archer armed with a short composite bow, revolutionized military tactics after 1700 BC. This expensive weapon spread throughout the Middle East and is thought to have reached Egypt with the conquering Hyksos. It spread into Asia Minor, Greece, and was known in Northern Europe by 1500 BC. This book covers the evolution of the war chariot throughout the Bronze Age, detailing its design, development, and combat history - in particular its fundamental involvement at the battle of Qadesh.
