Reviews

'This work is incisive in both why the battles are decisive and in the description of them with excellent accompanying maps.' --Sanford Lakoff


This is a well written book by an expert in his field. Few British Army officers have as much practical experience of conflict as Jonathon Riley. He draws on these personal experiences, his wide knowledge of military history and his sharp intellect to great effect. I commend this book to both the serious student of the military art and also to the general reader.--,
