There is little documented mapping of conflict prior to the Renaissance period, but, from the 17th century onwards, military commanders and strategists began to document the wars in which they were involved and later, to use mapping to actually plan the progress of a conflict. Using contemporary maps, this sumptuous new volume covers the history of the mapping of war on land and shows the way in which maps provide a guide to the history of war. Content includes: The beginnings of military mapping up to 1600 including the impact of printing and the introduction of gunpowder The seventeenth century: The focus is on maps to illustrate war, rather than as a planning tool and the chapter considers the particular significance of maps of fortifications. The eighteenth century: The growing need for maps on a world scale reflects the spread of European power and of transoceanic conflict between Europeans. This chapter focuses in particular on the American War of Independence. The nineteenth century: Key developments included contouring and the creation of military surveying. Subjects include the Napoleonic Wars and the American Civil War The twentieth century including extended features on the First and Second World Wars including maps showing trench warfare and aerial reconnaissance. Much of the chapter focuses on the period from 1945 to the present day including special sections on the Vietnam War and the Gulf Wars.

History of War in Maps gives a unique visual representation of the development of warfare, relating the extraordinary stories that have shaped our history. From the moment the first towns and cities arose, the struggle for land, resources and power has turned to violence. Almost from the start, maps have been an inseparable part of warfare.

This book expertly curates more than 70 historical maps which tell the fascinating story of war: from ancient and medieval warfare to modern day conflicts and beyond. Featuring maps of historic battles such as: * Battle of Marathon, 490 BC * Battle of Hastings, 1066 * Battle of Crecy, 1346 * Battle of Lützen (Thirty Years' War), 1632 * Battle of Saratoga, 1777 * Battle of Austerlitz, 1805 * Battle of Balaklava (Crimean War), 1854 * Siege of Vicksburg, 1863 * Battle of Isandhlwana (Anglo-Zulu War), 1879 * Battle of Spion Kop (Anglo-Boer War), 1900 * Gallipoli campaign, 1915 * D-Day, 1944 * Operation Desert Storm, 1993

Packed with contemporary maps, this is a visual survey of how conflict was recorded and planned before and during World War II, revealing how warfare and its documentation and presentation changed throughout the conflict. World War II was a global conflict on an unprecedented scale. On land, sea, and in the skies, nations threw everything that they had into the fray in order to achieve victory. This exciting collection of contemporary maps shows in vivid detail the true scope of the conflict, from the Japanese invasion of China in 1937, through the fighting in Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific, all the way up to the end of the conflict. Alongside maps showing how the war was conducted at strategic, operational, and tactical levels, this book contains maps produced for political purposes, including those depicting economic production, social changes such as large-scale evacuations, and those used in the all-important propaganda wars designed to bolster morale and influence public opinion. Following on from his Maps of War and Mapping Naval Warfare, renowned historian Jeremy Black collates a brilliant selection of fascinating maps and shows how they have been used to both illustrate and plan campaigns throughout the conflict.
