Description

Wargames have been an integral part of human conflict for thousands of years, from ancient gladiatorial games to modern computer simulations. This comprehensive history explores how wargaming has evolved in response to changes in real-life warfare, and what it reveals about the conduct of war. From the combat of David versus Goliath to the latest digital battles, Martin van Creveld examines the development of wargames and their significance in understanding human nature. The book covers a wide range of activities, including tournaments, trials by battle, duels, and board games like chess, shedding new light on the ways in which people have sought to prepare for war throughout history. By tracing the subject in all its complexity, this unique book provides valuable insights into the conduct of war and the human experience.
