Invaluable Reference Tool
5 Jun 1998
Format:Hardcover
This reasonably-priced volume provides a good starting place in referencing military leaders. Included in each entry is a listing of principle wars involved in, a brief service narrative, and a summary of how each leader is traditionally viewed by scholars. Also, there are a few main sources after each bibliographic entry.
Though not comprehensive in overall content, it is well worth it to keep this volume at hand.

Dupuy's Harper Encyclopedia of Military Biography
7 May 2001
Format:Hardcover
One thing about it, this book and "maybe" another one would replace all those biographies that take up too much room on one's bookshelf (especially mine). I especially like it when a good majority of our nation's military leaders (those on the Joint Chiefs) are included when no other volume even comes close. Great job, Colonel, and also outstanding work, Mr. Johnson

One of the best references
22 Jan 2001
Format:Hardcover
I have studied Military History for quite some time, and have always wanted a "quick reference" book for each figure in history. A lot of times, I will be watching a movie, and they will mention "General whoever" or another figure, and I jump up, grab this book, and read a brief history on the person involved.
This book is excellent in that respect. Do not buy this book for an in depth look at different personalities of military history. However, for a quick reference, this book cannot be beat. It is quite extensive, and seems to be unbiased in it's opinions of the people involved.
