This volume is a unique, multi-authored social history of war from the third millennium b.c.e. to the tenth century c.e. in the Mediterranean, the Near East, and Europe with parallel studies of Mesoamerica and East Asia. The product of a colloquium at Harvard's Center for Hellenic Studies, this book offers a broadly based, comparative examination of war and military organization in their complex interactions with social, economic, and political structures as well as cultural practices.
