Bol Covering a vast sweep, this well-illustrated book provides a concise exploration of pre-Classical naval warfare in the Mediterranean. Adrian Wood examines the vessels, naval techniques and strategy, and prominent engagements fought by the Egyptians, Minoans, Hittites, Phoenicians and Greeks. The world's first war machines were ships built two millennia before the dawn of the Classical world. Their influence on the course of history cannot be overstated.A wide variety of galleys and other types of warships were built by successive civilisations, each with their own distinctive appearance, capability and utility. The earliest of these were the Punt ships and the war galleys of Egypt which defeated the Sea People in the first known naval battle. Following the fall of these civilisations, the Phoenicians built biremes and other vessels, while in Greece the ships described in detail in the 'Trojan' epics established a tradition of warship building culminating in the pentekonters and triaconters.In the first accessible introduction to this subject, Adrian K. Wood examines the warships of the period, alongside illustrations from pottery and carved seals, and depicted in inscriptions and on bas-reliefs.
