The subject matter of this volume stretches from the Egyptian Pharaohs (1482BC) all the way through to the warriors of Dahomey that defiantly resisted their French conquerors as late as the 19th century. The pages in between cover such luminaries as Alexander the Great, the Romans, the Byzantines, various English militias and professional soldiers, Scot mercenaries, the Indian Mutiny, and Crazy Horse on the North American plains. There is a tremendous range of topics and subjects, but they all have one thing in common - they were conquerors or they refused to submit to their would-be conquerors!
