First in West Asia and Egypt, then in India and China, charioteers dominated the battlefield. In 1274 BC at Kadesh in present-day Syria - where the untried pharaoh Ramesses II was nearly defeated by the Hittites - 5,000 chariots were deployed in battle. Its use as a war machine is graphically recounted in Indian epics and Chinese chronicles. Homer's Iliad tells of the attack on Troy by Greek heroes who rode in chariots. In 326 BC Alexander the Great faced charioteers in northern India, while in 55 BC, on a Kent beach, Julius Caesar was met by British chariots\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67669505442091,"sku":"16718","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/chariot-the-rise-fall-of-the-1st-war-machine-by-arthur-cotterell-new-2004-1st-ed-hb_16718_main_original.jpg?v=1791248268","url":"https:\/\/militaryhistorybooks.com\/products\/chariot-the-rise-fall-of-the-1st-war-machine-by-arthur-cotterell-new-2004-1st-ed-hb","provider":"Military History Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
