| Description: |
This lavishly illustrated account of the rise and fall of an elite fighting force, describes the history of the soldier on horseback, from all cultures and armies right through to the last great days of cavalrymen in 1914. |
| Synopsis: |
Over 100 color paintings of mounted cavalry through the centuries-- in the most spectacularly illustrated book on the subject ever published-- highlight this tribute to 2,500 years of history's most fascinating fighting force. From the early rise of Assyrians, Persians, Carthaginians, and Romans, you behold the ascendency of Parthians, Goths, Byzantines, Mongols, and the Ottoman Empire, to the 20th-century triumphs of Texas Rangers, Russian Cossacks, Bengal Lancers, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. |
