Critics Review
”‘Anyone interested in military history or indeed history in general will find it fascinating to read.’ Spectator ‘Pure, almost illicit pleasure… What makes these essays tremendously diverting is how little they strain one’s sense of credibility.’ Andrew Roberts, Sunday Telegraph ‘These informed, elegant essays authoritively analyse incidents over the past 3,000 years.’ The Times ‘One of the delights of the book is that broad speculative analysis is built from a mass of exciting detail. This make for a top-class bed-side read.’ Financial Times”
