Wars of Empire

Porch, Douglas. Wars of Empire. London: Cassell, 2000. Print.

In my search, I used the keywords “empire” and “wars” to find the book. The book actually has a bunch of artifacts in it like the gold llama from the Inca empire that we read about last week. It also discusses why empires are significant and what some of the limitations are to warfare with these empires. I found this book with a lot of others that would be relevant to our class, as well. Many of them had to do with colonial powers, sea power, etc. I was drawn to this book in particular because we have not really talked about warfare amongst the empires that much. I am interested in how these wars occurred amongst the superpowers, so I thought that this book would be particularly revealing on the subject.
