Richard Ernest and Trevor Nevitt Dupuy's Encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference work charting the evolution of the art of war from Antiquity to the present day. In one volume the richest material is collected and systematized: a colossal volume of archival documents, rare maps, summaries of statistical data, excerpts from scientific works and detailed descriptions of the greatest battles. For the convenience of using the encyclopedia, the history of mankind is conditionally divided into twenty-two chapters, each of which is devoted to the time period from the 4th millennium BC to the end of the twentieth century. Essays preceding the chapters contain information about the principles of tactics and strategy of a particular period, the peculiarities of armament, the development of military theoretical thought, and outstanding military leaders of the era. The encyclopedia contains two indexes: the names mentioned in the text, as well as wars and significant armed conflicts. All this will help the reader to recreate and perceive the historical canvas as a whole, to understand the causes of this or that war, to trace its course and evaluate the actions of commanders.Memoirs contain many interesting observations on Russian diplomatic life, draw living portraits of Soviet leaders and dignitaries, as well as the entire "political climate" of Soviet life in the late twenties and early thirties. Especially interesting are the episodes from Stalin's life cited by the author, his recollections of Stalin's relationship with Trotsky, and his characterization of Soviet Russia's Foreign Minister Litvinov.
