| Speaking of War: Quotes on Conflict serves as a heavy jumbo reference book documenting pithy, humorous,
droll, or even ironic commentary surrounding and describing the machinations of warfare over the millenia.
Culled from military historians, scholars, politicians, reporters, authors, generals and soldiers, the work is
separated by categories for ease of use. Covered here are all forms of war in all mediums—land, sea and air,
conventional and unconventional—and occurring all over the world. There is a great deal of history here, so
readers must be careful: they might learn something. As Abraham Lincoln once said, you can’t believe
everything you see on the Internet. Speaking of War also contains a robust bibliography and index.
Speaking of War: Quotations on Conflict is also available as an ebook on Amazon.com for the Kindle.
