From the Publisher
Rich in historical anecdote and narrative, Chariot offers riveting descriptions of the military confrontations in which the deployment of chariots heavily influenced the outcome of battles and changed the fates of countries and empires. With nearly a hundred illustrations depicting the chariot's influence in warfare, and as a religious symbol of profound significance in sport, literature, and art throughout the ages, Chariot provides a broad-ranging and fascinating view of a machine that has exerted a monumental impact on our world.
