'This prose anthology of war is a delight for specialists and
general readers alike. It works particularly well for dippers like
myself. I found I was opening it at random, reading a couple of
essays, becoming absorbed, reading more, opening at another point,
repeating the process and so on. I shall return to it many times in
the future.'
Sir Anthony Parsons International Relations Vol XII No 2 Aug
'94
'Collections of extracts about war in general or particular wars
are nothing new, but this one seems original in its attempted
comprehensiveness. It is called an "Oxford Reader", and it will no
doubt make a very serviceable one for students the whole world
over.'
