About this title

Review:

"'Vivid and memorable... Anderson carries his mastery of a vast scholarly literature lightly...eventful and fast-paced yet always clear. His exposition of cultural conflicts, strategy, politics and diplomacy is lucid...This book will be read Oby many people and will be in print for a long, long time.' New York Times; 'Reading Crucible of War is an enriching experience...Anderson meets the enormous challenge he has set for himself.' Wall Street Journal"
