World History of Warfare covers worldwide military history from ancient times to the present and is designed for college courses. Its principal theme is an exploration of change and continuity, revolution and tradition, in three thousand years of warfare. It teaches students and general listeners how warfare evolved and how that evolution affected human society, with emphasis on major turning points in the conduct of warfare rather than a superficial general history of wars.
Although the volume addresses traditional subjects such as generals and tactics, each chapter also includes discussion of the idea of war, the role of the common soldier, and the changing interpretations of the military’s place in society and politics. Of special value is the authors’ treatment of non-Western societies and the role military forces have played in shaping societies worldwide.

Importantly, book covers both east and west in good detail.
Few parts of the book are based on outdated scholarship, but are not critical drawbacks in the context of the aim of presenting overall history of warfare. Nevertheless, be mindful that some details here are considered inaccurate by contemporary scholars.
Valuable read, fairly engaging (though not exceptionally so), with few small flaws.
Fascinating tour de force of warfare

The historical insights put forth outline a clear path through human history in which war seems to have been ever present. The role war has played in economies, technological advancement, and societal development for thousands of years is both eye opening and frightening. Kudos to the narrator on his ability to navigate a mine field of words from dozens of languages, and his beautiful pacing throughout the 28- hour long production. Well done!
Again, everyone should listen to this book.

The audio was technically good and was competently read by Scott Carrico, although his words-per-minute pacing was sometimes inconsistent.

Awesome Book for History Fans

The first chapters are on the weak side and are missing the level of dept that later chapters have.
This book as a phenomenal chapter about the evolution of medicine in the battlefield.
The last big chapter, deals with conflicts after ww2 is a bit chaotic and focus too much on the USA, and also lacks the depth of previous chapters.
I highly recommend this book.
