Where are the Chinese warfighting scholars? Why are there more books on D-Day than the entire Warring States period? It makes no sense!

Space...is big...

The Gallowglass were such an interesting oddity of military history. This new work covers them in a detailed analysis thanks to Helion & Company Ltd!

Such a wonderful and informative thread by Alex. This kind of analysis warms the heart with its detail and nuance!

This was a great read. It filled in some significant evolutionary "gaps" in the literature on the evolution of warfighting in the early gunpowder era.

Reagan understood reality.

Anyone looking for a fantastic overview of the Civil War period, it's hard to beat this work. The maps are amazing and bring the narrative to life.

It's wonderful! We are very much looking forward to volumes II to XXXXVI covering every army in the period planet wide! 😜

T.X Hammes put out this excellent essay on "Assumptions". The Initial Period of War is always beset by them in particular but they bedevil adaptation at all levels and cost lives or even victory. Very much worth a read.
