The author tells here the riveting stories of five military battles of the twentieth century, each one a turning point in history. Beginning with the British Expeditionary Force holding the line at the Battle of Mons in 1914 and concluding with the Battle of 73 Easting in 1991 during Operation Desert Storm, this book establishes a connection among these clashes and teaches its readers an important lesson about how future battles can be won. Emphasizing military strategy, force design, and modernization, the author links each of these seemingly isolated engagements thematically. At the core of his analysis, he reminds the reader that to be successful, military action must always be congruent with national culture, geography, and scientific-industrial capacity. He argues that strategy and geopolitics are ultimately more influential than ideology. The author stresses that if nation-states want to be successful, they must accept the need for, and the inevitability of, change. The five dramatic battles in this book, rendered in vivid detail by lively prose, offer many lessons on the tactical, operational, and strategic levels of war.
