About this title: Throughout the 19th century, conflict seldom abated, whether between the European powers or among their colonial proxies around the world. Designed for the scholar and general reader, this book's entries include a wide range of comprehensive information. Global in reach, it covers Latin American rebellions; African, Indian and Southeast Asian conflicts; Chinese and Japanese actions; and the Indian Wars of North America. Readers are taken beneath the surface to discover how battles were fought and wars were won and lost.

"A well done summary of warfare from the beginnings of civilization to the Vietnam eras end. The British authors take a refreshingly frank stance regarding some of the sacred cows in the field. Informative and refreshing, it reminded me of many things I knew but had tucked away too deeply to easily recall."
