Review title: Disappointing for what it leaves out
Product review: John Keegan's brilliance is occasionally seen in cameo form here, with his usual facility for the telling phrase and sharp insight. But the problem is that the book does not go very far. There are many important and/or interesting works which are not even mentioned - one thinks of the official South African history of the Sidi Rezeg battles and Alamein in the Western Desert in 1941, by Agar-Hamilton and Turner. Accustomed as we are to Keegan's astonishing range, it is disappointing to see such a slight work by him. He also seems reluctant to assess the place of the huge number of personal biographies (some academic, some popular) of generals from the various armies.
