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.\n\n“The best military historian of our generation.” –Tom Clancy\n\n“A monumental piece of literary military history.” –Chicago Tribune\n\nA brilliantly edited and comprehensive anthology.\"—The New York Times Book Review.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140296556\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140296556\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51757506461997,"sku":"FBA_N_AM_7607","price":15.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5853\/5981\/files\/615Zh97skSL.jpg?v=1768491039","url":"https:\/\/silkroadstore.us\/products\/the-book-of-war-25-centuries-of-great-war-writing","provider":"Silk Road Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
