“Often their choices do not seem “normal” and “rational” to many Americans because (surprise, surprise) their actions did not reflect American norms.”
― The Wars for Asia, 1911–1949

“When I was a fighting-man, the kettle-drums they beat;
The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back.
—The Road of Kings”

“As U.S. forces later discovered in the long Vietnam War, conventional and guerrilla operations are different items; expertise in the one form of warfare does not translate to the other.”

― The Wars for Asia, 1911–1949
“KNOW, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars—Nemedia, Ophir, Brythunia, Hyperborea, Zamora with its dark-haired women and towers of spider-haunted mystery, Zingara with its chivalry, Koth that bordered on the pastoral lands of Shem, Stygia with its shadow-guarded tombs, Hyrkania whose riders wore steel and silk and gold. But the proudest kingdom of the world was Aquilonia, reigning supreme in the dreaming west. Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen- eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet."—The Nemedian Chronicles”

“Those who lead in peacetime and perhaps deftly dodge war receive no credit, while those who fall into deep holes receive accolades for the heroic climb out, instead of assuming culpability for the fall.”
