Roots of Strategy, Book 3: 3 Military Classics : Von Leeb's Defense/Von Freytag-Loringhoven's the Power of Personality in War/Erfurth's Surprise (Roots of Strategy)

Summary: a must for the student of war
Review: The roots of strategy books have been an invaluble asset in my study of military strategy. The priciples set forth in Von leebs book should be read and if not implemented, certainly used as a spring board for further deliberatiion and study. I would strongly encourage the student of warfare to aquire this book and spend much time meditating on its contents. Although the material may seem outdated and archaic when viewed superficialy, many of the foundational points hold true. The middle book is especialy relevant to todays military comanders, As J.F.C. Fuller said, the art of generalship never changes.
