The Book of War: 25 Centuries of Great War Writing
John Keegan
Acclaimed military historian John Keegan?s anthology of war writing from 25 centuries of battle
In The Book of War, John Keegan marshals a formidable host of war writings to chronicle the evolution of Western warfare through the voice of the most eloquent participants?from Thucydides? classic account of ancient Greek phalanx warfare to a blow-by-blow description of ground fighting against the Iraqi troops in Kuwait during the Gulf War. Keegan gathers more than eighty selections, including Caesar?s Commentaries on the Roman invasion of Britain; the French Knight Jehan de Wavrin at the battle of Agincourt; Davy Crockett in the war against the Creek; Wellington?s dispatch on Waterloo; Hemingway after Caporetto; and Ernie Pyle at Normandy.
?The best military historian of our generation.? ?Tom Clancy
