Review # 2 was written on 2011-07-28 00:00:00 Shadrach Evans A history of warfare from the bronze age up to World War 2 this book by Field Marshall Montgomery is an easy read and highly informative. However the book is euro-centric and some of the information has been surpassed by more recent works since its publication in 1968. The authors english prejudices can also be clearly seen in some sections, for examle the british capture of Quebec in the 7 years war receives as much space as the entire American War of Independence. I found his World War 2 section to be particularly self serving taking undue credit for victories to himself, giving mistakes and rivals little coverage and climing that if his plans had been followed the war would have been shorter and soviet influence in eastern europe greatly reduced. Despite these flaws it is however an excellent book and highly recommended to anyone beginning to read about military history.
