I'll let the professional reviwer below describe the text, but I would like to say
THIS - I teach history for a living. My passion is military history. If there were
five books that I could force everyone on Earth to read, this would be one of them.
This book is not about any nation or strategy. It is about what war WAS, what war
IS, and how it functions. Modern citizens who like to pop off their opinions about
a current war or the military (pro or con) usually have no idea what they are
talking about. For the other history lovers who may see this, what Keegan does here
is REFUTE the classic offering by Clausewitz that war is the continuation of
politics by other means. Folks - for historians, this is as earthshaking an
assertion as Einstein refuting Newton, or Copernicus disproving Aristotle. Plus,
it's a rollicking good read. - Rambam1776
