Warriors Of The Steppe: Military History Of Central Asia, 500 Bc To 1700 Ad
Autor Erik Hildingeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 noi 2001
The
nomadic
peoples
of
central
Asia—Huns,
Bulgars,
Magyars,
Mongols—are
still
known
to
us
for
their
legendary
fighters
Attila,
Genghis
Khan,
and
Timur
Lenk
(Tamerlane),
as
well
as
for
their
feats
of
calculated
brutality.
(Timur
Lenk
would
leave
piles
of
severed
heads
in
his
conquered
cities;
another
tribe
sent
nine
sacks
of
ears
to
their
khan.)
Less
studied
is
the
remarkable
effectiveness
of
their
battle
techniques:
For
two
thousand
years,
these
horse-archer
armies
were
an
unstoppable
force
to
sedentary
peoples,
be
they
Romans,
Crusaders,
Chinese,
or
medieval.
Erik
Hildinger
introduces
the
most
important
of
these
raiders
as
well
as
a
host
of
other
tribes
and
examines
in
detail
their
tactics,
strategies,
and
weaponry—a
form
of
highly
mobile
and
defensive
warfare
that
even
armies
of
today
can
learn
from.

Descriere
The nomadic peoples of central Asia—Huns, Bulgars, Magyars, Mongols—are still known to us for their legendary fighters Attila, Genghis Khan, and Timur Lenk (Tamerlane), as well as for their feats of calculated brutality. (Timur Lenk would leave piles of severed heads in his conquered cities; another tribe sent nine sacks of ears to their khan.) Less studied is the remarkable effectiveness of their battle techniques: For two thousand years, these horse-archer armies were an unstoppable force to sedentary peoples, be they Romans, Crusaders, Chinese, or medieval. Erik Hildinger introduces the most important of these raiders as well as a host of other tribes and examines in detail their tactics, strategies, and weaponry—a form of highly mobile and defensive warfare that even armies of today can learn from.
