<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Major General J. F. C. Fuller, a pioneer of mechanized warfare in Great Britain, was one of this century's most renowned military strategists and historians. In this magisterial work he spans military history from the Greeks to the end of World War II, describing tactics, battle lines, the day-to-day struggles while always relating affairs on the field to the larger questions of social, political, and economic change in Western civilization. A masterpiece of scholarship and biting prose, these volumes are available for the first time in a handsome trade paperback edition. This third volume outlines the age of industrialism and the rise of American imperialism, the Civil War, expansionist policies of Japan and Russia, and World Wars I and II, offering fresh insights into the relationship between military history and social change.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>'General Fuller's Military History, seen as a whole, is a magnificent survey of the evolution of western military organization, tactics, and strategy from the earliest times; and perhaps it outstanding feature is the fact that this evolution is always seen within the context of political and social history, the author being careful demonstrates the reciprocal relationship which exists between military establishments on the one hand and civilization societies which support them on the other.' -Gordon Craig.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Major General <b>J.
