Issues such as the Versailles Treaty and its role in the rise of Hitler, the 'End of History', trench warfare, and the capacity for individual commanders to change the course of the battle, will be addressed within. This compilation is accessible to the novice, yet useful to the expert. It is concise, yet densely packed with knowledge that could prevent future wars, or at least ameliorate their consequences. For the beginner or a veteran of military affairs, get this book! It takes what would otherwise be complex material (Trench warfare in WWI for example) and the author breaks it down and makes it easy to understand.
