    About this ebook

    Originally delivered as a series of lectures at Trinity College, Cambridge, Military History is an important work for any student of the military and warfare, acclaimed writer J. W. Fortescue argues that the rise and fall of civilizations has nothing to do with peace, societies, or commerce, but rather with the subjugation of inferior nations by superior nations, achieved by moral force, which develops through self-discipline and self-sacrifice.
