"So, if this is your area of interest, and you begrudge
the space occupied by 5 large volumes, then this slim, but
well-packed paperback deserves a well-merited place beside your
desk." (Nurturing Potential, 1 August 2014)



"With rich entries that highlight the political context,
strategic significance, and tactical detail of each conflict, this
encyclopedia is an essential reference for students of military
history and strategic studies."

--Theo Farrell, King's College London
