The Source Book of Military Quotations : Soldiers and Armies

One of several pocket-size volumes quoting the words of past warriors, spoken to lead and inspire their troops, this book concentrates on soldiers and armies.

It has a wide chronological coverage, from the Greeks and Romans to the present day, containing quotations from military leaders of every nation. The short, pithy comments contained in the text are designed to throw light on the original speaker and his situation, but can be made relevant to modern military and business situations, and in daily life.
