I've ever written a review before, but I feel compelled to for this book - it's that good.This is the most thought provoking military book I've read in years simply because it covers such an important topic. Other history books I've read deal primarily with repetitive movements of units and tactics, but don't force you to think about how those things were carried out.It's not a *hard* read, but it does require a *careful* read, and I think it definitely gives back in understanding whatever effort you put into it.
