Roger Spiller

A new English translation of Ardant du Picqs classic Battle Studies, introduced by a new biographical essay. Meer

Spiller locates a dozen turning points in the history of warfare that altered our understanding of war and its pursuit. We are conducted through profound moments by the voices of those who witnessed them and are given a graphic understanding of war, the devastating choices, the means by which battles are decided, and the enormous price exacted.
