Some myths are the result of deliberate misrepresentation; others, the result of ignorance or bigotry. In any case, there is no substitute for the truth.Secrets of Warfare explores:Battles from the ancient world and the alleged superiority of Western nations from the earliest times.The famed myth of the English longbow.
