*Booklist*

Each conflict is divided into: the causes, the course, and the consequences. Sections also include a timeline, further readings, occasional maps or illustrations, and tables denoting battles and various information. All of these parts, taken as a whole, provide both the novice and the expert a wonderful resource.
*ARBA*

Conflicts such as these are far too often overlooked or lumped into specific wars, and rarely get attention in such stand-alone fashion. . . . Summing Up: Recommended. All levels/libraries.
