Apr 07, Muhammad al-Khwarizmi rated it really liked it Shelves: This topic is not broached by many other books, so the fact that this author took it up is a good thing in itself. Nonetheless it suffers from some flaws.

The greatest is the author's tendency to use a fair deal of obscure military slang, assuming familiarity on the readers' part. He is not always the most lucid writer in general and the book, having been published in , is now outdated. Even so, there is a prophetic quality here and there: Apr 30, Bryan Batson rated it liked it.

Curious tidbits of information on military equipment, weather effects, weapons effects are interspersed throughout the text, albeit in a logical fashion. The best chapters are those providing analysis of a complete battle or campaign. There all of the pieces are brought together in a discussion integrating the effects of geographic phenomenon with the application of the war fighter. This is a great book for serious study. I might not, however, try to read it while watching Monday Night Football.

To get the most out of it, it must be studied, likely not as a section in a more complex class, but rather in a class of it's own with additional research sections on strategy, Sun Tzu, logistics, or the evolution of war based on new equipment and trends. This is a tremendous book for anybody wanting in-depth information on geography and warfare but who does not have the technical background of a geographer or military analyst. It is full of excellent, high-quality photographs, and three-dimensional drawings that supplement the text in an excellent fashion.

Maps are drawn, not reproduced from older texts, and the clarity and detail is beyond reproach. Chapters are organized by subject matter and the book even contains simplified explanations of satellite reconaisance and outer space applications. This is an excellent book.
