Synopsis
This seminal work of military history explores the nature of battle through the eyes of the men and women most closely involved in the action. Historical examples and influential samples of war literature lend context to the narrative, which centers on three intense, bloody, and climactic conflicts: Agincourt, October 25th, 1415; Waterloo, June 18th, 1815; and the Somme, July 1st, 1916.
Industry Reviews
"'The Face of Battle' looks at three familiar battles and tries to find out for you what each was actually like, using as much contemporary material as possible and a large component of common sense."
Whole Earth Review - Joe McConnell
"Keegan's now classic description of what it was like to be an ordinary soldier on the Agincourt, Waterloo, or Somme battlefields is harrowing, humane, profound."
Atlantic Monthly (09/01/2005)
