A History of Warfare

By no means a ”History of Warfare” (and that title is cheating the buyer), the book is also not even a book in itself, but just an overgrown academic pompous 400 pages essay with no structure or clear idea of what it wants and where it goes. It s just an obsessive ramble about how Clausewitz is wrong, but not exactly about what could be put instead of his ideas. And how could one call himself a military historian and write things like ”From whatever reasons - the subject is extremely complex - the Revolutionary armies proved almost impossible to beat”? ”From whatever reason” and thats it, we just go on because it would take a few paragraphs to actually explain? And the reasons are in fact well-known and not mysterious at all.
Shameful.
And by the way, Clausewitz was NOT wrong. Just read some history, damn it...
