A visual record of the entire history of warfare, with a concise text explaining the background to each battle scene, new in paperback.

The paintings of Victor Ambrus are familiar to several generations. He has illustrated over 300 books on classical and historical subjects in his own instantly recognisable style. Over the years he has amassed what amounts to a visual record of the entire history of warfare, brought together here. With a concise text explaining the background to each battle scene, Battlefield Panoramas is a joy to browse through and will win a place on the shelves of all those with an interest in conflict - or simply a love of illustration. Beginning with the siege of Troy, the many scenes include Caesar's invasion of Britain; the Viking raid on Lindisfarne; Hastings; Agincourt; the Battle of Sedgemoor; the Siege of Athlone; the storming of the Bastille; Trafalgar; Waterloo; the Franco-Prussian War; the BEF in the First World War; the Normandy Landings; and the 1956 Hungarian uprising. The latter illustration takes on a particular power and resonance when you know that Victor was there.

AUTHOR: The late Victor Ambrus was the BBC Time Team artist. He won the prestigious Greenaway Gold Medal for Illustration twice, and the Royal Academy Drawing Prize. His books include Drawing Animals, Drawing on Archaeology, and How to Draw the Human Figure.
