THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO THE ULTIMATE INTERGALACTIC BATTLEFIELD
Like many a great epic, Star Wars is rooted in a rich history of armed conflict.

Extensively researched and inventively written, Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Warfare combines action-filled narrative with encyclopedic knowledge that:
• explores notable military units and groups
• traces the development of significant armaments and technologies
• profiles key warship classes, ground units, and manufacturers
• provides capsule biographies of great military leaders
• presents eyewitness troopers’ accounts of combat
• plus—enough additional profiles, intel, history, and lore to span the cosmos!
Encompassing all of the Star Wars media, including the legendary films, the hit TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the bestselling books, comics, and videogames, and packed with original full-color artwork, Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Warfare is a conquering achievement.
Reviews
Great Guide
4By Revan97ofSWATI give Star Wars The Essential Guide to Warfare four stars for only 1 reason: It is no longer cannon. Besides that fact, the book is really great. I like the exquisite artwork, the detailed maps, the in-depth information and the pictures of the ships, weapons and characters (I know these also count as artwork but they are very helpful, especially the pictures of those ships, weapons and characters not seen in the movies or TV shows.) I purchased my copy of the book from the Star Wars Action Team rewards store and it came with the added bonus of having been signed by the author himself. It was a really good source for EU fans but I suspect it will become less and less sought after as the new official Expanded Universe emerges.Beautiful book, awesome interactive pages
5By steve19137I am a huge fan of the Star Wars EU, and having recently got an iPad, this was a no brainer. It's a beautiful interactive textbook filled with war stories and accompanying artwork. The art is incredible. It's very detailed and it adds a lot to the equally engaging stories that book tells. If you love Star Wars, then this is a book that you should certainly get. Now, some of the other reviews complain about it not opening and such. You must note that you can only read this on an iPad. I read this on an iPad 3, and it works very well.Will not Sync with Iphone 5

1By Scooterama17Can't wait to read it…as a matter of fact, I've been waiting 30 minutes for it to open in my iPad2. Yes, the download completed.
