Riassunto

Ranging from the ancient Greeks in Byzantium to the Japanese in Korea and the Chinese in Tibet, a sweeping history of conquest through the ages examines how the seizure of other people's lands has shaped global history and discusses how invaders have justified their actions, the impact on the conquered and the conqueror, and the exploitation of resources and people.
