"John Keegan marshals a formidable host of war writings to chronicle the evolution of western warfare through the voices of its 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, The Book of War presents the face of battle in its various guises over the course of nearly twenty-five centuries."--BOOK JACKET.
