A good basic book on the current state of war
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book, while detailed, offers a good, basic approach to the modern state of war. The best part of an essay approach to this sunject is that rarely one person is the "guru" for all things. The multiple points of view weave together to provide full understanding to a very complex subject.
