Publisher's note: This book describes the various war games which people have played throughout the ages, from ancient times to the present day. It covers both the games run by governments and those brought out commercially for members of the public. The most important of the 'official' games were usually classified as top secret at the time they were played, and details only trickled out later. The board games produced for the public go back to the Napoleonic Wars and even earlier. Above all this is a book about the ideas and ingenuity underlying the games. Their inventors struggled to combine simplicity and playability with attempts to reproduce features of real-life conflicts.--From book jacket.
