Soldiers – A History of men in Battle John Keegan & Richard Holmes
Focusing on the experience of battle as it is known by soldiers from infantryman to commander, this history traces the development of warfare from its beginnings as a clash between warriors to the high technology of today.
Celebrated military historian, John Keegan, and co-author, Richard Holmes, chart the changes in the conduct of warfare through history with an instructive combination of analysis and illustration. In the process they reveal that what has not changed is that an army ultimately has to depend on the courage and determination of its fighting men. With an introduction by Frederick Forsyth.
