CHARIOT

Arthur Cotterell

 

Subtitle: From Chariot to Tank, the Astounding Rise and Fall of the World's First War Machine, The Overlook Pressd, N.Y., 2005, 344 pgs., index, notes, maps

 
 

Reviewer comments:
I consider the subtitle to be a bit overblown. But the introduction of the chariot did greatly enhance military power until it was superceeded by cavalry.
