Subtitle: 50 Events You Really Need to Know Author: Robin Cross Publisher: Quercus () Edition: First Edition ISBN-10: X ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Hardcover with dust jacket Pages: 208 Dimensions: 20.6 x 17.8 x 2 cm +++ by Robin Cross +++ Human history - from the empires of the ancient world to the superpowers of the 21st century - has been inextricably shaped by conflict and the weapons that have been used to wage it. The technologies that have produced advanced civilizations have also been harnessed to the grim business of warfare. This short history, stretching from the chariot to the Stuxnet virus which disabled Iran's nuclear enrichment program in , charts some of the most significant weapons, fortifications and tactics that have been developed in the last years.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books.
