“Nine-tenths of tactics are certain, and taught in books: but the irrational tenth is like the kingfisher flashing across the pool, and that is the test of generals.”
- T. E. Lawrence.
A short but comprehensive 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.
Kindle edition includes image gallery.
