Review title: Good Reading For POWs With Nothing Better To Do, I Guess
Product review: The Art of War in The Western World, Archer Jones; Barnes & Nobles Books (1987, Board of Trustees, University of IL)Partially read years ago, the margin comments facing "The Climax of Modern Warfare, 1939-45" are not charitable ("not bad...he wrote exactly the opposite of what he meant to say."). Somehow, it seems, I've acquired another insufferable "publish or perish" history - the type that instantaneously perishes when introduced into the commercial marketplace.It is currently in use as a "filestop" - keeping files upright in a half-full container - in a box containing commercial warranties, which make for equally dreadful reading.
