His work is excellently written and systematically and engrossingly examines the great battles\, tracing what he calls “short-war thinking\,” the hope that victory might be swift and wars brief. As he proves persuasively\, however\, such has almost never been the case. I am sure we all can relate. His book stops in 1945\, which is where our own rich experience can pick up for a robust discussion. \nDr. Nolan will have books on hand for signing below the cost of what you might find on the market. \nClick here to register!!
