Review title: An explanation of why we fight from the stone age to modern time
Product review: Well written text which should be, and probably is, basic text for War College class reading. Excellent criticism of Clauswitz, explaining later frustrations such as Korea, Vietnam, and Afganistan. Too critical of Sun Tzu, "The Art of War," not fully appreciative of his contribution. Sun Tzu does believe in a decisive battle, the heart of the Clauswitz philosophy, he also recognizes the full spectrum of war. Seldom, he would say, is decisive battle possible. This is what we see in modern war, since WWII. Keegan reconizes this in his conclusions, but does not explain well the Chinese philosophy. Good luck, it is an excellent text, very articulate and readable.As an ex-military officer, I hope they include this material in War College material.If this review was helpful, please add your vote.
