"[A] fascinating collection of military stories....The sort of book that can be picked up at intervals...[but] once tasted is hard to put down"--Washington Post Book World. From Caesar to Patton, from Evelyn Waugh as the most unlikely of commandos to Napoleon's imperial veterans, the experience of war is wide and deep, stretching across human history. These outstanding stories capture the full range of military adventure, tragedy, and comedy, in a deftly edited collection.
