Roman Conquests (Wars That Changed the World)

This series gives accounts of some of history's most monumental wars and revolutions, their causes, and the effects they had on those caught up in them and those who came after. Contemporary reports are given, where posssible, bringing home the horror and pity of war, as well as the heroism of the fighting men and women. The illustrations include battle-scenes, maps and portraits, and drawings of weapons and uniforms. This particular book looks at the conquests of the Roman Empire.
