War: what is it good for? Absolutely something, or presumably we wouldn't keep doing it. In A History of the World in Ten Wars, we will learn why the Greeks decided to band together with their rival cities; where counterintelligence was first invented 2,000 years ago; how the birth of chivalry helped to set the rules of war (as long as you were a Christian); and the innovative guerrilla tactics of the Mongols, who were surprisingly interested in supply chains. We'll also discover why diseases killed more than bullets in the Crimean War and why the so-called World Wars were really one very long war with a break for half-time. Throughout the ages, each generation has faced the same questions. Am I willing to fight for my way of life? How can I come up with something the enemy hasn't thought of? And the important one that people often forget to ask: is there a way of solving this amicably?
