From the Ancient Greek hoplite through the Medieval knight to
today's special forces, this powerful book relates the drama of warfare
from the perspective of the people who have taken part - behind the
lines and amid the visceral experience of battle.
With revealing accounts of a soldier's training, tactics and
combat techniques, and detailed photographs of uniforms, weapons
and personal effects, Soldier is a remarkable visual chronicle of
the reality of what it is to be a warrior.
