Format:Hardcover
This book was published in 1992. Its content spans nearly 500 years, from Henry VIII to Vietnam, but with a natural weighting to the 20th century. It is a high quality collection of thought and analysis about the connections between the subjects in the title, by 17 eminent authors. Their perceptive essays establish high standards and strong principles for historical evaluation of strife between nations. It is also a vivid display of the respect and gratitude generated by a wise teacher and writer, Sir Michael Howard. I have found the book particularly helpful in sorting out some related matters in how history is written and appreciated.
Delivery to the other side of the world was prompt, and the book was in excellent condition, exactly as presented through Amazon.
