The standard work on how the three major operational components of war - tactics, logistics, and strategy - have evolved and changed over time. This monumental work encompasses 2,500 years of military history, from infantry combat in ancient Greece through the dissolution of the Roman Empire to the Thirty Years' War, and from the Napoleonic campaigns through World War II, which Jones sees as the culmination of modern warfare. He then goes on to consider the Israeli-Egyptian War of 1973. Showing signs of use with creased card covers. useful reading copy.
