A collection of images where the old way of warfare is (visually) compared with the technological modern warfare. The paintings that I used to compare with the drones show important battles in history. The book is designed in the chronicle logical order of the occurrences of these battles. It starts with the Sicilian Expedition, 415 BC and ends with Battle of Passchendaele, 1917.
