Estrategas y batallas

Arranged chronologically and thematically ("The men" and "The battles"), this book proposes a summary of strategic thinking and its application on battlefields from the first known important confrontations in Antiquity to those of our era, through of a set of forty-six strategists and battles. Equipped with an accomplished apparatus of indexes and cross references, as well as abundant maps and sketches, this work by Frédéric Encel is intended to serve as a reference tool, but will also delight all those readers interested in the tactical and strategic subtleties that , from Sun Tzu, Alexander or Hannibal, to De Gaulle and Moshé Dayan, and from Marathon or Alesia to the great battles of the two World Wars and the Arab-Israeli conflicts, have marked not only military thought, but also the course of History. Previously published in this collection under the title "The Art of War", this new edition features an additional chapter dedicated to the fight against Islamist terrorism.
