They were equally transfixed by the chilling moral question the novel posed: how to fight when the "age of heroics is over."As relevant today as it was half a century ago,The Centurions is a gripping military adventure, an extended symposium on waging war in a new global order, and an essential investigation of the ethics of counterinsurgency. Featuring a foreword by renowned military expert Robert D. Kaplan, this important wartime novel will again spark debate about controversial tactics in hot spots around the world.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBAuthor: Jean LartéguyGenre: FictionTopic: Historical Fiction, Classic FictionRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
