It covers those people, battles and campaigns, wars, countries, institutions and weapons that have fundamentally affected the nature and development of warfare. It also has a particular concern with civil-military relations and the role of armed forces in society. From the Hellenic period to the present day, including the questions of chemical and biological weaponry raised in the conflict with Iraq, the dictionary has comprehensive coverage of military history for students, scholars, specialists and general readers alike. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eOriginally published in French under the title \u003ci\u003eDictionnaire d'Art et d'Histoire Militaires,\u003c\/i\u003e the new English language edition is expanded and completely revised and updated.
