3.0 out of 5 stars typical montgomery, March 9, 2001

By	Anthony Garia "antg" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It has been a while since reading this book, but I distinctly will always remember being dissappointed with this book. The content is often a very concise/over simplified in the analysis of event and filled with generalizations, but the worst is his treatment of World War 2 which left me with a bad taste in my mouth as field-marshal montgomery became one of the greatest general ever. It may be the over-bravado or just the style of writing, but it came of as tooting his horn too much. That being said... Reasons why it got 3 stars

pretty good overview of most of the history of warfare colorful "tainted" viewpoints of the events good place to start out for a beginning view of most era's

5.0 out of 5 stars The hole worlds warfare from stone-age to the sixties., October 2, 1998

By A Customer

Written by one of the worlds ever leading generals and a master of the language, this book covers every military aspect of its subject from ancient times up to the sixties. Althogh a comprehensive coverage of course is impossible whithin one book, it should be considered a must for all interested in military history. It can also be looked upon as a world history, as it covers not only the western hemisphere but also quite extensively early oriental warfare. For anyone looking for a military-history-subject to specialize in, read this book first to find out what you find interesting.
