FIGHTING WORDS
This book features excerpts from military speeches,
letters, diaries, memoirs, books, journals, and other writings
that – for better or worse – changed our world. In some
instances the impact was merely regional. Yet, at other times
powerful rhetoric combined with fiery exhortations had a
global effect.
The book fulfills twin purposes: (1) Fully credited and
indexed excerpts meet needs of military scholars and military
historians. (2) The more casual reader may browse through
the 13 chapters, each arranged by subject matter, for a most
informative and entertaining historical journey. From
antiquity to the present day, the book displays 142 relevant
photos and illustrations.
