Title: A nice collection of American war essays from several eras
Review: I enjoyed this collection. There were pieces from various wars in which America participated and the perspectives were well presented. There's no attempt to write history here -- merely a sample of the times and conditions as they were from the Civil War to the Gulf. An easy read and one that packed enjoyment. If you're looking for serious analysis of strategy and tactics, there are better places. If you want to consider the thoughts and reflections of some human charcaters in combat, this is a good spot to start. It was especilaly nice for those of us who commute by public transit, with bite-sized pieces to easily digest in a short time span. Since these are each individual essays, there are a few repetitions from story to story, but on the whole, it was pleasant and informative.
