Warfare & defence
paperback. Elephants have fought in human armies for more than 3000 years. Asian armies boasted of their pachyderm power, while the Romans fielded elephants alongside their legendary legions but were perhaps too proud to admit that mere animals contributed to victory. This book presents the story of their largely forgotten role in the history of warfare. Num Pages: 352 pages, 36 Illus., 2 maps, glossary, index. BIC Classification: JWKT. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 154 x 229 x 21. Weight in Grams: 506.
