And in his scrupulous reassessment of three battles representative  of three different time periods, he manages to convey what the experience of  combat meant for the participants, whether they were facing the arrow cloud  at the battle of Agincourt, the musket balls at  Waterloo, or the steel rain of the Somme.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The best military historian of our generation.” –Tom Clancy","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154902434032,"sku":"9781440673993","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781440673993_p0.jpg?v=1763787050","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781440673993","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
