Publisher's Synopsis
A history of Scotland by one of the best-known newspapermen and writers of his day, a quasi-scientific analysis of a single battle from Edward Creasy, a bloody boots-on-the-ground Civil War memoir by a remarkably articulate Confederate cannoneer, an insightful Elbert Hubbard sketch of King Alfred, a history of the Ancient Greeks and a rare biography of Captain James Cook. Strategy Six Pack 8 is a historian's haversack of tactical texts spanning two millennia of conflict:
A Short History of Scotland by Andrew Lang.
The Battle of Blenheim, 1704 by Edward Shepherd Creasy.
The Story of a Cannoneer Under Stonewall Jackson by Edward A. Moore.
King Alfred by Elbert Hubbard.
The Story of the Greeks by H. A. Guerber.
The Life of Captain James Cook, the Circumnavigator by Arthur Kitson.
"Strategy requires thought, tactics require observation."
- Max Euwe.
