Titel: Great Naval Battles of the Ancient Greek World Zustand: Neu EAN: 9781473827301 ISBN: 9781473827301 Verlag: Pen & Sword Military Produktart: Gebundene Ausgabe Erscheinungsdatum: 11.01.2019 Höhe: 234mm Länge: 156mm Autor: Owen Rees Sprache: Englisch Description: Naval warfare is the unsung hero of ancient Greek military history, often overshadowed by the more glorified land battles. Owen Rees looks to redress the balance, giving naval battles their due attention. This book presents a selection of thirteen naval battles that span a defining century in ancient Greek history, from the Ionian Revolt and Persian Invasion to the rise of external naval powers in the Mediterranean Sea, such as the Carthaginians. Each battle is set in context. The background, wider military campaigns, and the opposing forces are discussed, followed by a narrative and analysis of the fighting. Finally, the aftermath of the battles are dealt with, looking at the strategic implications of the outcome for both the victor and the defeated. The battle narratives are supported by maps and tactical diagrams, showing the deployment of the fleets and the wider geographical factors involved in battle. Written in an accessible tone, this book successfully shows that Greek naval warfare did not start and end at the battle of Salamis.
