Title: Nice narrative but not much else
Review: In The First Way of War, Mr. Grenier has penned the quintessial narrative, and not much else. Not to deminish the importance of a good narrative, goodness knows they have there time and place, but I hope this particular piece of work is used for nothing more than the 8th grade. At the undergrad or graduate level, it would be better served as a placemat for that steaming bowl of Top Ramen or as a wedge to even out that table with the short leg. On a lesser note, the title is as transparent as the acting on some reality shows. Sadly, it futily grasps at some small niche of notoriety. It sounds too much like Weigley's "American Way of War". To that I'll add, I knew Weigley. Weigley was a friend of mine (not really but it makes for a good point). Mr. Greiner, you're no Weigley!
