A kaleidoscope of man's history

That THE BOOK OF WAR is a monumental work there can be no doubt. The book contains one page summaries accompanied by a photo or graphic of famous historical battles beginning with the Battle of Kadesh fought in 1274 B.C., and ending with the 2003 A.D. Battle of Debecka Pass in Iraq. Each battle is summarized, so all the facts and nuances are not presented. Thumbing through the pages of THE BOOK OF WAR provides a kaleidoscope of history. A history shaped by war. THE BOOK OF WAR will remain on my bookshelf or sometimes on my coffee table. Great job, Dwight.
