Osprey Publishing The Wars of Atlantis DAK6
On the very edge of recorded history, the fabled island of Atlantis formed the center of a vast and powerful empire. From there, the divinely descended lords of the western ocean made war on the rest of world, until a brave resistance drove them back, and the gods punished them for their hubris. In that last cataclysmic struggle, between gods and mortals, the whole island continent was cast into the sea.
For the first time, this book reconstructs the fact and fiction of that lost age of gods and heroes, including:
- The political organization of the Atlantean Empire
- The equipment and tactics of the armies of Atlantis and their enemies
- The stories of the great wars themselves, from the early struggles between Atlantean colonies and the Amazons of North Africa to the final and catastrophic counter-invasion of Atlantis by the peoples of Europe and Asia
Historical Reconstruction of a Lost Civilization
This historical reconstruction explores the fabled island-continent of Atlantis, detailing its rise to power as a vast maritime empire. The volume examines the political structure of the Atlantean civilization, its specialized military tactics, and the equipment used by its divinely descended lords. It traces the empire's early conflicts, including campaigns against the Amazons of North Africa, through to the final counter-invasion by the united peoples of Europe and Asia.
Written by Phil Masters, the text combines historical mythology with speculative military history to present a coherent narrative of Atlantean society and its eventual destruction. The study features first-person accounts, tactical analyses, and is supported by 20 black-and-white and 20 color illustrations that depict the legendary warriors and cataclysmic struggles of this lost age.
