I’ve been reading this massive tome on and off for the last year. Last night I finally sat down and finished it. Overall, I’m in awe of the breadth of this book, and less than thrilled with the execution. I think it could’ve been a much better book, had it stepped back from the details and gave the big picture first. I’m very glad I read it, though, and plan on reading some of Keegan‘s other works.

Muli Ben-Yehuda's journal 
book of war
I picked up the book of war too last month, my first _war book_.
Have been reading it on and off and am not making much progress.
Looks like it will be another year before I get done with it.
Till now, the melian dialogue is my fav, with the strong-weak-equal talk.
