The Patterns of War Since the Eighteenth Century

"This important work . . . synthesizes the evolution of warfare from 1775 to the present." —Military Review

A thorough revision of a highly successful text, the second edition of this classic work provides a comprehensive picture of the evolution of modern warfare. Addington discusses developments in strategies and tactics, logistics and weaponry, and provides detailed discussions of important battles and campaigns. His book is an excellent introduction for both students and the general reader.

"There is nothing else in print that tells so much so concisely about how war has been conducted since the days of General George Washington." —Russell F. Weigley, author of The American Way of War

"A superior synthesis. Well written, nicely organized, remarkably comprehensive, and laced with facts." —Military Affairs
