Since its first appearance fifteen years ago it has become a classic, a storehouse of military lore for the specialist and layman alike. The present edition is thoroughly revised and greatly enlarged. The World War II chapter have been rewritten to make use of sources not available earlier, particularly German and Japanese documents and memoirs. Completely new material has been added, covering more recent events such as the cold war between the Communist states and Western nations, the shooting war in Korea, and the Lebanon intervention. There is a full chronological table as well as a full bibliography of sources in chronological order, and new diagrams and maps make a total of nearly 140 illustrations. Mr. Montross is superbly readable because in telling his story he never loses sight of the fact that wars are waged by men. He is concerned first of all with people, with those who fought and the great conquerors who led them."--Jacket. 0aMilitary art and sciencexHistory. 0aMilitary history. 7a89.83 warfare.0(NL-LeOCL)0776092392bcl 7aMilitary art and science.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01020874 7aMilitary history.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01021222 7aWarxHistory.2nli 7aMilitary history.2nli 7aHistory.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01411628 7aHistory (form)0(NL-LeOCL)0881431472gtt  ihas work:aWar through the ages (Text)1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCFwcWJWdQHGp93Jq8gXMmq4https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork08iOnline version:aMontross, Lynn, 1895-1961.tWar through the ages.bRev. and enl. 3d ed.dNew York : Harper, [1960]w(OCoLC)987956592
