"The Greenhill Dictionary of Military Quotations brings 4000 years of military history to life through the words of more than 800 soldiers, commanders, military theorists and commentators on war. Great figures from history - Napoleon, Ataturk, 'Che' Guevara, Rommel, Julius Caesar, Wellington, Xenophon, Crazy Horse, Wallenstein, T.E. Lawrence, Saladin, Zhukov, Eisenhower and many, many more - sit side by side as a result of their participation in battle across the ages." "These memorable sayings, with full source references, are broken down into 485 categories. Drawn from direct experience and close observation, they cover such areas as the art of war, courage, danger, failure, leadership, luck, military intelligence, training, guerrilla warfare and victory."--Jacket.
