International Military and Defense Encyclopedia (1993) By Trevor N. Dupuy
 
It was as a military historian and a theorist that Dupuy would make a lasting mark on the world. He is perhaps best known for his massive book The Encyclopedia Of Military History (co-written, like many of his books, with his father R. Ernest Dupuy).
 
Starting from the beginning of history and going up to the present day the book tries to cover all the major (and minor) military conflicts in world history. Usually, each entry (arranged chronologically and by region) gives little more than the names of the commanders and (often) very rough estimates for the size of the forces involved in the campaigns. Dupuy was not afraid of expressing an opinion and he classified some of his subjects as Great Captains (such as Alexander the Great, Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, Frederick II of Prussia, and Napoleon). The book focuses mainly on the American and Western European experiences but offers some coverage of other regions of the world. The Encyclopedia Of Military History has been revised (and updated) several times, most recently in 1993.
