| | 2. |  | The American Civil War: A Military History
from Alfred A. Knopf
Price: $55.99
Customer Review:
It's hard to write something new in a field that is so well covered, but John Keegan is just such a writer to do so. I have always enjoyed his works, so I picked up the book in Europe.

| | 3. | [no image] | The Face of Battle
from Peter Smith Pub Inc
Price: $24.80
Customer Review:
I recently finished Bernard Cornwell's lengthy series about Rifleman Richard Sharpe and the Napoleonic wars -- the last volume of which focuses, naturally, on Waterloo -- and then followed that up with Cornwell's newest, about the nearly mythical Battle of Agincourt.

from Vintage

Customer Review:
In this book, The History of Warfare, John Keegan has turned what is in general a difficult idea, that of warfare, and turned it into a subject the lay reader can understand. Keegan traces the history of warfare from pre-modern times to today (or, 1993, when the book was first published).

If you're not looking for an extensive biography on the life of Winston Churchill, this book is brief, informative, and John Keegan does a good job of keeping it engaging.
