100 great warriors: Sergey Nechaev

For many centuries, the war has been a favorite male occupation. However, the tradition of the participation of women in wars also has a very long history and is by no means a phenomenon of the 20th century. If the reality of the existence of the Amazons also requires serious evidence, then the presence of women in the armed groups of ancient Sparta is documented, and in ancient China and India, the detachments of women guarded the emperors. Women participated in the campaigns of Alexander the Great, and the Roman historian Tacitus described the Celtic army, opposing the Romans, which included many women. Historians found that among the Germans, Sarmatians and other Indo -European peoples, women not only participated in hostilities, but also headed military detachments. The next book of the series tells about the most famous warriors of the past and present.
