The Age of Battles: The Quest for Decisive Warfare from Breitenfeld to Waterloo Mat Sadler even as Shen Wei tries"One of the most interesting, important, and ambitious books about the conduct, and perhaps the ultimate futility, of war." Gunther E. Rothenberg "[A] highly scholarly and wonderfully absorbing study." John Bayley, The London Review of Books "What Russell F. Weigley writes, the rest of us read. The Age of Battles is a persuasive reminder that even in the age of 'rational' warfare, one can honestly wonder why war seemed an unavoidable policy choice."
