description: This volume by Field-Marshal Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, originally published in Great Britain in 1968, is a classic commentary on the history of warfare. The fruit of a lifetime spent in the study &amp; tactics of war, it bears the authority of one who will without doubt be numbered among the great commanders. The book's greatest merit springs from Lord Montgomery's understanding of the human factor. In it he emphasizes strategy &amp; tactics, leadership &amp; weapons. Where more general historical factors are discussed they are those scientific, technological, social, economic or political factors which have affected the history of warfare. "Deeply interesting, often inspiring, &amp; intensely instructive." Maps &amp; B&amp;W photos.
