CHRONICLE OF WAR HBK - Hardcover

This book combines the excitement of a daily newspaper with the drama of world military history from 1854 - the date of the introduction of photography to the battlefield - to the present day. The book comprises newspaper-style articles, arranged in year order, interspersed with features on particular innovations or events that deserve more in-depth treatment. Covering all of the major wars and many minor ones, this book will appeal to both the military enthusiast, intrigued by a novel approach to the history of modern warfare, and to the casual reader looking for a comprehensive yet dramatic description of the events of military history since the beginning of the photographic age.

Paul Brewer began working as a picture researcher specializing in military photographs in 1985. He worked on the best-selling partworks The Elite and Images of War. He has written many articles and books on military subjects, including the authoritative illustrated history War in Focus (Carlton Books).
