	frontline: the future of war: readings: "first battles in retrospect"
		A two-part idea has inspired this book: that first battles are peculiar, significantly unlike subsequent military operations of a war, and that the peculiarity is obscured by historical perspective, by our knowledge of what happened during and after the first battle.

		Only the two-day battle of the Rio Grande in 1846 was relatively cheap, although even their losses approached 10 percent of the force engaged.
