Starting from Meggido, 1496 BC, the first recorded battle in history, and reaching the wars of the last years of the 20th century, this work is the most comprehensive in the field of armed conflicts at sea, on land, and in the air. It contains detailed references to over 7,000 battles, campaigns, and wars, classified in alphabetical order, covering all known and lesser-known military confrontations. In the first pages, there is a guide to the important wars and their battles in chronological order.
The work "3,500 Years of Battles" serves as a guide not only for historians but also for a constantly growing number of readers interested in military conflicts. John Laffin has written 50 books on Military History and the History of Wars, as well as numerous specialized articles, and is internationally known. Some of his books are mandatory in Military Schools of several countries. This book of battles, campaigns, and wars required two decades of preparation.
