Reviews for The Art of War in Western World
"No other similar work so thoroughly and objectively highlights the strategic, tactical and logistic continuities and changes that have animated war from the time of the ancient Greeks to the Yom Kippur War. No other work steps through the past twenty-five centuries with more impartiality... There has not been such a comprehensive and useful book in generations."
