Warfare & Military History — Free EPUB Downloads

Warfare & Military History brings together the firsthand accounts, staff histories, and strategic analyses that document humanity’s long experience of organized violence. Julius Caesar’s Gallic Wars and the campaigns of Napoleon through the eyes of his marshals stand alongside Ulysses S. Grant’s justly celebrated Personal Memoirs — all available as free, cleanly-formatted EPUB downloads.

The shelf spans ancient siege warfare and medieval chivalry through the naval battles of the age of sail and the industrialized carnage of the American Civil War and the First World War. Field dispatches, regimental histories, and the theoretical writings of Clausewitz and his successors give the collection both experiential immediacy and analytical seriousness.
