Reviewer Comment:
Sir Charles Oman was a contemporary of Hans Delbruck. Sir Charles' book is much
different from Delbruck's. It is much more focused on the battlefield, and
warfare. It includes sections on fortification, siegecraft, arms and armor,
weapons including bows, crossbows, and firearms; and ethnic groups including
Vikings, Hungarians, Mongols, Arabs, and Byzantines. It has much less about the
interrelationship of politics and warfare or about social, or economic aspects
of war.
