5.0 out of 5 stars The best history book
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2000
This is a fantastic book. Practically every war of any kind is included (within the limits of historical information). Since most of the history of the world changes due to wars, it's basically the history of the world in one volume. Re the comment on dates by Mr. Clark: come on, no researcher worth his or her salt is going to use a book like this for a reference. This is for the layperson who wants a concise history, and it delivers very well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dictionary of Wars
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2000
The information concerning dates of wars are in question. Due to the inefficiency of the work relating to dates, this publication can be costly to a researcher.

: The Dictionary of Wars

It's one of the those mild mornings
With the windows open

That would have encouraged the Portuguese
And their Asian allies, hidden behind walls

24 feet thick and 32 feet high

To continue to defy the Dutch
Laying siege to Malacca on the west coast
of the Malay Peninsula, but we know

From history that no help will arrive

Or be sent from Goa, India
Or any less likely Portuguese outposts

And Malacca will fall, in January 1641
Gifting the East Indies to the Dutch

Assuring them of almost
A complete monopoly of the spice trade
