Book Description
From Library Journal Tsouras, a senior analyst at the U.S. Army National Ground Intelligence Center, is a military historian and author of Disaster at D-Day, Gettysburg: An Alternate History, and The Great Patriotic War. As the name implies, his book
is a dictionary of quotations from military commanders across 4000 years. Over 800 military commanders are represented by 5,943 quotations, which are themselves listed under 480 subject headings covering just about every aspect of military life, from
"Ability & Action" to "Wounds & Youth." The book contains a good bibliography, an index to well-known quotations, and a biographical index. The published volume will also contain an index of great battles and an index of great commanders. Similar in size
and scope to standard reference books like Bartlett's Quotations or the Oxford Book of Quotations, this dictionary is recommended for both public and academic libraries and will certainly appeal to subject specialists or military speakers.DMark Ellis,
