Title: Changes the way you read military history
Review: "The Face of Battle" is not what I would consider a main stream book about military history. Through three important battles in history, tactical issues that are relavent in most all military history books are glossed over in favour of, one might argue, the more relavent logistical and socialogical details of war. How did men relieve themselves on the battlefield? What kept infantry men standing in square against charging heavy cavalry? What happens to the wounded left lying on the battlefield? There are alot of answers in the book that give the reader a more rounded sense of how war exists beyond traditionally emphisised tactical outcomes.
Is the review positive or negative?
