Sir John Keegan RIP

I haven't read everything he ever wrote by any means, but I never read anything by him that I didn't enjoy. And everyone should read The Face of Battle, especially people with non-military backgrounds. As a history buff, I was surprised how much it opened my eyes to different aspects of what it would have been like to be in famous, historical battles.
Rest In Peace

#2  Besoeker, I wholeheartedly agree. I have read at least five of his books, starting with Face of Battle, and plan to go back and read several more.

#1  His own man and particularly adept at peeling the onion to reveal the underlying causes of conflict. A great mind lost.
