Hi guys
I read with great interest the book by Hanson "Ripples of Battle: how wars of the past still determine how we fight, how we live and how we think".
The book tells the battles of Okinawa, Shiloh and Delium discussing in detail the situations that lead upto the battles and then argues the consequences on the sociology of war and hence in world history. Anybody read the book? comments? If I have time I might write something.
One interesting fact that I didn't know was that the author of BEN HUR was General Wallace that fought at Shiloh.
