The Book of War(I***N=9780140296556) 电子版 免费 pdf 下载 azw3 fb2 caj mobi

　　From Thucydides' classic account of ancient Greek phalanx

warfare to a blow-by-blow de*ion of ground--fighting against

the Iraqi forces during the Gulf War, The Book of War

presents the face of battle over the course of more than 2,000

years. Acclaimed historian John Keegan brings together an amazing

array of wa***ritings, largely drawn from the protagonists

themselves or firsthand accounts of the battles they describe. Here

are Caesar's Commentaires on the Roman Invasion of Britain;

Wellington on the Battle of Waterloo; Hemingway after Copretto,

Ernie Pyle at Normandy; and James Fenton at the Fall of Saigon.

Weaving the various pieces together, with a brilliant introductory

essay and substantial headnotes, John Keegan has created a rich

tapestry that epitomizes the warrior spirit.
