Keegan gathers more than eighty selections, including Caesar's Commentaries on the Roman invasion of Britain; the French Knight Jehan de Wavrin at the battle of Agincourt; Davy Crockett in the war against the Creek; Wellington's dispatch on Waterloo; Hemingway after Caporetto; and Ernie Pyle at Normandy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The best military historian of our generation.\" -Tom Clancy \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A monumental piece of literary military history.\" -Chicago Tribune \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA brilliantly edited and comprehensive anthology.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Book of War: 25 Centuries of Great War Writing | John Keegan | Paperback | 9780140296556 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks H 1769194","offer_id":49518154580120,"sku":"1769194","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/615Zh97skSL.jpg?v=1784619175","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/book-of-war-25-centuries-of-great-war-writing","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
