    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Physical violence lies at the core of war. This volume explores the diverse manifestations of violence in pre-modern societies, from the trophy heads of the pre-Hispanic Andes to the tactics of Mongol conquerors in Central Asia and the battlefields of medieval Europe. Adopting a global historical perspective, it examines how war violence was perceived across different cultures and identifies potential cross-cultural patterns in its use and understanding.
