Thus the author takes a look back over the past four thousand years, employing over 180 illustrations to trace the rise and development of the professional soldier. Following the Introduction, chapters include:
Knights and Mercenaries
Armies of the Nation State
Prussia and Napoleon
The Nineteenth-Century Officer
Society and the Soldier 1914-18
Today and Tomorrow
Leadership
This intimate look at the nature of soldiers themselves rather than a focus on wars generally or battles in particular allows the author to focus on who the soldiers were and why they fought, and what happened to them during war and afterwards. While the book certainly needs updating, it will still make a good addition to any military library. ( )
