Faces of War: Agincourt, Waterloo and the Battles of the Somme

About This Novel

"The Face of War" is a famous work by John Keegan, a historian of World War II. It mainly selects three historical fragments to interpret how the real war was fought. These three classic battles are: the Battle of Agincourt in the Hundred Years' War between England and France (the use of longbows), the Battle of Waterloo between Napoleon's army and the British-Prussian army (the use of Mauser gunpowder guns), and the Battle of the Somme in World War I (the use of weapons of mass destruction). Historians and writers have analyzed the mechanics of war, or sketched its outlines, but we still cannot truly understand war without understanding its face.
