Johnson (lecturer in the history of war, Univ. of Oxford) contextualizes and strategically maps 20 battles and military struggles, including Simon Bolivar in South America, Christiaan de Wet and Boer Resistance, the epic struggle for Stalingrad, and the battle of Wanat, Afghanistan. Unfortunately, Johnson is fond of cliches such as resilient human spirit, personal sacrifice, heroic virtue, and cunning leadership. However, his skillful analysis of the battles and struggles, their contributing conditions, and the guts and spirit of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstance speak inspiration well enough without his purple prose. VERDICT Marginally recommended.--Ben Malczewski, Ypsilanti Dist. Lib., MI
