How Wars Are Won is an interesting read for fans of military strategy both current and historical. Bevin Alexander starts by acknowledging that the days of wars fought in the past with close groups of many soldiers in formation are gone, replaced by the more modern battles of smaller, more independent squads. A complete change in how war is fought and conducted. He then details 13 points where the lessons of past warfare can be applied to this new way of fighting. Mr. Alexander begins each chapter by explaining one of the points in detail, then its use in historical battles of the past (including specific examples of the point in action), and then finishes the chapter by discussing how this point can still be relevant today in modern combat. This book provides a bridge between how war was waged then and now, and reminds us that no matter how much different we think contemporary combat is from the time of knights and arrows, certain aspects of war have remained the same. A must-read for anyone interested in how warfare has evolved over the ages, and how parts of warfare have also stayed the same regardless.Read full review
