"Battles that Changed Warfare"

It's a great book, talks in detail about weapons, tactics, terrain, and how they all interact to create the outcome of the battle. It's got a ton of cool battles going from ancient Egypt to the Gulf War, and great big colourful maps of the battles showing the different troop movements. It even has a great chapter about Brits gunning down durkahs with Maxims.

You know I never got why the ancient Greeks had such short armor. Why didn't it reach to the top of the knees instead of right above the genitals?

I mean I guess it works so that while pillaging an enemy village you can rape their women and not have to take your armor off
