It is a fascinating and comprehensive collection which includes over 5000 quotations and spam the past two thousand years. The words of Catherine The Great are here, along with those of Churchill, Shakespeare, Nimitz, Clausewitz, Kant, and John F. Kennedy. Napoleon I and Thomas Jefferson share a page with Robert E. Lee and Alfred Thayer Mahan. The scope of the subject matter covered by the quotations is extensive. The table of rubrics runs from Action to Zeal with 365 pages in between. Aggression, Causes of War, Detente, Duty, Loyalty, Luck, Profanity, Recruits, Victory, Weapons, and Women are but a few of the headings. Quotations under each entry appear in chronological order. Transcending the barriers of the profession of arms, there is much here for the student, the teacher, the historian, the politician, the reference specialist, the public speaker, and the interested reader. The words of hundreds of the world's greatest philosophers, poets, admirals, generals, prophets, and politicians serve both to inspire and to remind us of Santayana's words: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Robert Debs Heinl, Jr., Colonel, USMC (Ret.), graduated from Yale College in 1937 and received his commission as a Marine Corps officer the same year. Prior to World War II he served in the West Indies, in Cuba, and in South American waters. He was at Pearl Harbor the day of the Japanese attack and later served in the South Pacific and on Guam and Iwo Jima. During the Korean War he served with the 1st Marine Division. Colonel Heinl's other duties included directing the Marine Corps historical program, serving as a joint planner at Marine Corps Headquarters, and commanding the U.S. Naval Mission to Haiti. Well known for his style and wit, Heinl contributed articles to The New Republic, The Atlantic Monthly, National Geographic, and American Heritage. Prior to his death in 1979 he was a nationally syndicated columnist.
