History's Greatest Warriors: Volume 1

Warriors – Evolved from the earliest hunter classes. They have become specialists in the art of enforcing social order through violence and projecting power at all levels of society’s hierarchies from the dawn of time. Often associated with the most prestigious classes of human society, they have manifested the political will of chieftains, lords, kings and emperors through the whole of human history. Tasked with accomplishing brutal acts, incredible feats of self-sacrifice as well as heroic deeds, they were often richly rewarded or were just as quickly forgotten. On any battlefield, valour and glory can be found as easily as death, and the warrior elite has always been there – fighting for their cause, their leader or their people.They have been both the attackers and the defenders; both the regime and the rebels, the invader and the invaded – and they have always been with us.Join the author as he goes on a journey of discovery to explore some of the greatest fighting names of ancient history from around the globe, examining how they lived, died and how they found everlasting fame as History’s Greatest Warriors.
