[Jon Klug · Rating 4 out of 5]

While a long slog, it was worth it. A tour de force of military thought, I found Gat's book to be balanced and pretty comprehensive. This will serve as an interim review, as there is much to consider after 828 pages of material. I can see why this was published as three books, and probably would have been much easier to digest.

This book is heavy but very interesting for those interested in military history.
