		Battle — again so unlike nature — brings with it bothersome and nagging ideas of preventability, culpability, causation, and responsibility married to the lingering notions of what-if?, whose fault?, and he, not it, did this.
		Battle is the raucous transformer of history because it also accelerates in a matter of minutes the usually longer play of chance, skill, and fate.
		Battles really are the wildfires of history, out of which the survivors float like embers and then land to burn far beyond the original conflagration.

	Conversation with Victor Davis Hanson, p. 3 of 5
		As military history came into its own, it seemed to me that operational history, tactical history, strategy, and especially the experience of what it was like to fight were pushed away, and military history, to be acceptable, had to be social history.
		It was a horrendous battle to take a well-fortified island, and the costs and casualties were quite heavy, but it was important for moving on to Japan.
		It was a funny battle that started on April 1 and ended July 2, and then sixty days later the war was over.

		In Shiloh, which probably the author's strongest argument, the battle impacted the pyschology of the south (The Lost Opportunity), the key focus of two generals ideas about prosecuting the war (Sherman and Grant), and how in a few moments careers are made and broken (Lew Wallace).

		Alcibiades had great admiration of Socrates, and once said: "His nature is so beautiful, golden, divine, and wonderful within that everything he commands surely must be obeyed, even like the voice of good."
