Title: Face of Battle
Review: Skip the lengthy and slow introduction, and don't trust Keegan on the American Civil War; he makes outright inaccurate comments regarding it.But when Keegan gets to the three battles he discusses in detail, Agincourt, Waterloo and the Somme, he does a wonderful job. A combination of tactics, technology and mentalities gives the reader plausible accounts of what each of these conflicts must have been like for participants. Primary sources are well used. This would be a wonderful resource for historical fiction and fantasy authors, looking for ideas on how to write a realistic battle scene.
