Age of Battles

<p>One of the most interesting important and ambitious books about the conduct and perhaps the ultimate futility of war. --Gunther E. Rothenberg<br /><br />[A] highly scholarly and wonderfully absorbing study. --John Bayley <i>The London Review of Books</i><br /><br />What Russell F. Weigley writes the rest of us read. The Age of Battles is a persuasive reminder that even in the age of 'rational' warfare one can honestly wonder why war seemed an unavoidable policy choice. --Allan R. Millett <i>The Journal of American History</i></p>
