The Wars of Atlantis
 |
On the very edge of recorded history¸ the fabled island of Atlantis formed the centre of a vast and powerful empire. From there¸ the divinely-descended lords of the western ocean made war on the rest of the 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¸ and 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.
