Ancient Warriors

(Flying Eye Books)- hardback
£12.99
Flavius Belisarius is one of Roman history’s great leaders. He employed battle tactics similar to Alexander’s Companions and battled with ships equipped with the legendary Greek Fires. Flavius is one of the Ancient Warriors included in Iris Volant’s exceptional book. Alongside other warriors, we learn how different fighters fought, the weapons they used and the battles they won.
Therefore, we read of the English bowmen’s victory at Crécy, where the French knights panicked and fled the battlefield. We’re captivated by the Greek overthrow of the might of Xerxes in the Battle of Salamis. Despite being massively outnumbered, the warrior strength and wit, where they bashed enemy ships and broke off their oars, are staggering!
Iris Volant examines the nature and reasons for warfare. She examines different methods. We realise how different fighters learned from each other. The impact of battles through the ages is suggested thoughtfully in the writer’s research. Ancient Warriors is a superb book that we recommend to readers at home and school.
