	Amazon.co.uk: The Face of Battle: A Study of Agincourt, Waterloo and the Somme: Books
		By portraying battle as an evil god of destruction borne in and of itself, he fails to acknowledge the inhuman acts of cruelty and aggression that in fact precipitate warfare.
		Drawing from a liberal mode of thought, he seeks not to re-humanize battle or to see the "face of battle," as one is led to believe, but instead to dehumanize battle and thus to call forth a pacifist argument against warfare in the modern age.
		The three battles that Keegan chooses are the Battle of Agincourt, which occurred on the 25th of October 1415, the battle of Waterloo, 18 June 1815, and the first day of the Battle of Somme, 1 July 1916.

	Amazon.com: The Face of Battle : A Study of Agincourt, Waterloo, and the Somme: Books: John Keegan
		John Keegan, a senior instructor at Sandhurst, the British Military Academy, speaks for soldiers who were present in the fray.
		All three are what historians apparently term "set battles" but each called upon its participants to face death, or glory, or simply the esteem of their neighbor, in different ways.
		As a result, "The Face of Battle" was an eye-opener for me, since it captures the real, not Hollywood, experience of battle for the common soldier who draws a sword, fires a weapon, or attacks an insurmountable position.

	The Washington Note Archives
		John Nichols of The Nation magazine and author of Dick: The Man Who is President is interviewed on Wisconsin Public Radio's Here On Earth tomorrow, Sunday, from 3-4pm central time, and repeated Thursday night at 8pm.
		Although many in the press are depicting this battle as one between the Democrats and Republicans, knowing what I now know about the extreme level of indigestion in Republican circles about the nomination, depicting this investigation as a partisan one seems nonsensical.
		TWN is also alarmed at the seeming indifference that Senators Lugar and others have attached to the fact that John Bolton seems to have lied to the Committee on a broad number of questions -- and seems to have lied in a robust, emphatic manner.

	Science Fiction Book Reviews
		A Hymn Before Battle follows three major story arcs, the biggest and best of which deals with Lt. Michael O'Neal, a soldier-turned-web-designer/SF writer who's forced back into the military.
		Author John Ringo (an Airborne veteran himself) does superb job of showing just how hard it would be for modern-day warriors to get their minds around the capabilities of far-future tech, and how deadly they could be when they did finally understand it.
		What follows is a mad scramble by Earth to reorganize its competing military forces, develop new weapons based on galactic technology, and learn as much as possible about their enemy.
