 Amazon.com: The Book of War: Books: John Keegan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
In this eclectic anthology of war writings, military historian John Keegan (author of The Face of Battle and The Second World War) has collected some of the best that has been thought and said about armed conflict over the course of 25 centuries.
Keegan is especially interested in how war has evolved over time; his introduction is a brief history of this development, from the heroic age of individual combat to the horrific "total war" of the 20th century.
Included are Thomas Hardy's, 'In The Time of The Breaking of Nations,' Thomas Campbell's 'Hohenlinden,' John Scott of Amwell's magnificent 18th century anti-war poem, 'The Drum,' and Wilfred Owen's opus magnum, 'Anthem for Doomed Youth.' Moreover, Keegan's book is just as valuable for what it does not include.

He refrains from including a warmed-over serving of Clausewitz or Sun Tzu, as well as sparing us a currently fashionable diatribe on the supposed leadership qualities of history’s mass murderers.
