Robson gathers more than three thousand years of besieged cities into one long chronicle, starting with Bactra, Ai, Thebes and Troy and pressing on through Jerusalem, Antioch, Constantinople and the walled towns of medieval and modern Europe. Each entry sets the city, the attackers and the defenders before describing how the walls held or fell.
A vast, browsable compendium for readers of military history who enjoy dipping into one famous siege at a time. Download the free EPUB.
