Warfare: An Analysis of Campaigns, Operations and Theories from Antiquity to Present

By Kevin P. Ryan

Protect your flanks, know when to culminate, and never outrun your logistics. Warfare examines these critical aspects of war and much more. Here is an extremely well-researched historical book that explains and analyzes battles, campaigns, operations, and military thought and theories, from the Roman conquests to Napoleonic mastery to "blitzkrieg" modern mechanize maneuvers during World War II to the Citadel in Hue City.

This is a military history adventure where the reader can enjoy any chapter and any battle in any order. Read about Scipio Africanus in the Second Punic War or the German paratroopers' fight for Crete. Warfare immerses the reader into the battles on the dusty planes of North Africa, the freezing steppe of Russia, or the destroyed rubble and war of rats in Stalingrad. Warfare is perfect for any reader--the professional historian, the military leader, the student of history, and the enthusiastic military history buff, or the reader who just wants to know a little bit more about Germany's invasion of Russia or the theories of Clausewitz.

Don't miss your chance to impress your friends and guests on military history knowledge. Read Warfare--you won't regret it!

The Prussian attack on Plancenoit, during the battle of Waterloo in 1815. Attack led by General Bulow's Corps was vicious, merciless, bloody and bitterly close. The attack destroyed the French Imperial Young Guard, who fought to their death defending the small village. The French Counter-Attacked with the Old Guard and for a moment recaptured the Village. Prussian reinforcements arrived outnumbering the French 2 to1 and decisively seized the village. This engagement during the Battle of Waterloo proved to be decisive and led to irreversible momentum in favor of the United Kingdom-Prussian-Netherlands Coalition.
