Afghanistan: A Military History From Alexander The… por Stephen Tanner

History books can be extremely boring, all dates and names jumbling into a brain-numbing mess. Tanner's work is a happy exception. Starting with Alexander the Great and moving to the early days of the America's entrance in the war, Tanner walks the reader through a land where the geography and culture, more than any other place, change the rules of warfare. It was fascinating, to see how the land shaped events, to see how men and empires suddenly change course when confronted with the rugged, harsh ways of Afghanistan. I found this book enthralling and I highly recommend.… (mais)

Afghanistan: A Military History From Alexander The… por Stephen Tanner

Afghanistan: A Military History From Alexander The Great To The Fall Of The Taliban, is too full of details without a corresponding explanation of their importance. The tone is bland and unbiased and yet their is decided preference for British and American viewpoints, some analysis of these the viewpoint would make the story more interesting and the bias more acceptable and probably more convincing.

Epic Retreats: From 1776 to the Evacuation of Saigon por Stephen Tanner

A truly fascinating book about some of the more impressive retreats in history - from Napoleon in Russia, to Washington, to the Nez Pierce and the Americans in Korea and Vietnam. Well researched and well written, the author knows when to tell the story day-by-day or even hour-by-hour, and when to skip ahead to the good stuff. A quick read, if only because it was so damn interesting.
