Produktbeschreibung
War Wisdom: A Cross Cultural Sampling is a unique combination of directory and analysis. It provides a relevant "universe" of quotations, together with their authors, about war from various ages and across a large number of societies including those found in China, Japan, Persia, Mongolia, Europe, and America (both North and South), as well as Native American nations and Africa.
