The Military Quotation Book: More Than 1,200 of the Best Quotations about War, Leadership, Courage, Victory, and Defeat

Whether one believes that patriotism is ""the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons,"" (Bertrand Russell) or that ""the man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife"" (Teddy Roosevelt), one will find something provocative in The Military Quotation Book. Editor James Charlton (The Executive's Quotation Book) has expanded an earlier edition to include musings in categories like ""Fear,"" ""Air Power"" and ""Revolutions."" Quotes come from military leaders and civilians through the ages, from Pyrrhus to George Bernard Shaw to Mohammed Daoud. ( Mar.)
