[QUOTE="SHARK, post: 273781, member: 1131"] Greetings! Well, I'm afraid that most any book covering strategy isn't meant for children!:) It is just that children are not the target audience of books on strategy. Members of the military, scholars, veterans, history buffs, and a few other intellectuals are the target audience. That means that the general public is excluded. Most of the books on strategy deal with an aspect of warfare that the average reader isn't even aware of, let alone seriously interested in. However, I might add the following books to a list to learn about strategy in warfare: (1) Caesar's Commentaries (2) The Persian Wars (3) "War As I Knew It" by General George S. Patton Jr. (4) "The Wars of America" by Robert Leckie (5) "There's A War To Be Won" by Geoffrey Perrett (6) "First To Fight" by General Victor H. Krulak (7) "Panzer Battles" by General F.W. von Mallenthin (8) "Lost Victories" by Field Marshal Erich von Manstein (9) "Panzer Leader" by General Heinz Guderian (10) "When Titans Clashed" by Colonel David M. Glantz & Lt. Colonel Jonathan House (Note: This exhaustive book covers World War II on the Eastern Front from the Soviet perspective. Colonel Glantz is an American soldier, and an expert in Soviet history and warfare. He also uses never before seen Soviet documentation.) (11) "Eagle Against The Sun" by Ronald Spector (12) "At War At Sea" by Ronald Spector (13) "Downfall" by Richard B. Frank (14) "Infantry Attacks!" by Field Marshal Erwin Rommel This list should prove invaluable to anyone interested in strategy. Even where such books delve into the tactical, strategic concepts can also be seen at work. In general, these books provide an excellent framework in which to learn how to think "strategically." They cover sytrategy as they dealt with it, and the lessons to be learned are plain to see. I recommend all of these excellent books!:) Semper Fidelis, SHARK [/QUOTE]
