Notes
This book is a brief (150 pages) but insightful narrative history focusing on why the war happened, how it was fought, and why it had the consequences it did. It is chronologically arranged and is written with - as the publishers say - "tremendous precision and clarity of vision". Its size makes it an ideal introductory book for anyone developing an interest in the subject.
