Noble, Duncan.  Dawn of the Horse Warriors : Chariot and Cavalry Warfare 3000-600 BC Pen and Sword Military 2015  Hardcover in DJ Like New /Like New Unused  Octavo 190 pp

“The domestication of the horse revolutionized warfare, granting unprecedented strategic and tactical mobility, allowing armies to strike with terrifying speed. The horse was first used as the motive force for chariots and then, in a second revolution, as mounts for the first true cavalry. 
 
The period covered encompasses the development of the first clumsy ass-drawn chariots in Sumer; takes in the golden age of chariot warfare resulting from the arrival of the domesticated horse and the spoked wheel, then continues down through the development of the first regular cavalry force by the Assyrians and on to their eventual overthrow by an alliance of Medes and the Scythians, wild semi-nomadic horsemen from the Eurasian steppe. “
