'Our foremost military historian. . . It is the breadth of his grasp of civilisation, as well as the soldier's art, that makes this book so formidable. ' EVENING STANDARD 'A book of breathtaking scope. . . . a tour de force DAILY MAIL 'Swarms with brilliant analysis ans an unrivalled command of military history'. FINANCIAL TIMES
