Keegan gathers together more than eighty selections, including Caesar's Commentaries on the Roman invasion of Britain; the French knight Jehan de Wavrin at the Battle of Agincourt; Davy Crockett in the war against the Creek; Wellington's dispatch on Waterloo; Hemingway after Caporetto; and Ernie Pyle in Normandy. Weaving the various pieces into a seamless whole, John Keegan has created a rich tapesry that epitomizes the warrior spirit.
