The Encyclopedia of Military History, by father and son R. Ernest Dupuy and Trevor N. Dupuy, is a one-volume reference to warfare from about 3500 B.C. to the late twentieth century, first published in 1970 and later revised. Organised by era and region, it covers battles, campaigns, wars and commanders alongside the development of tactics, weapons and military organisation. Each section opens with an overview of the period's warfare before a chronological record of events.
