A chronological illustrated history of warfare from the Ancient Greeks through World War II with chapters on military thinking and the ethics of war.
Throughout his career Field-Marshal Montgomery has studied military history, and he has ensured that his book is soundly based on historical findings. He has then brought to bear on the subject the judgement and interpretation of a great master of war. He shows the political factors in war, indicating when these become paramount, and stresses that the true object must be a secure and lasting peace. He studies the development of strategy and tactics, showing how progress in the design and manufacture of weapons has influenced techniques since earliest times, and examines the methods of the great captains of the past. Finally, he considers the human factor in war, and the need for a commander to regard the lives of his men as precious, not to be risked without good cause.
