[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
This volume features some of the beautiful and illuminating artworks created by the artists who traveled with European explorers. It also includes excerpts of the writings of the explorers. These histories are fascinating but often horrifyingly colonialist. It's a startling look into the minds of the Europeans of this era.

The author has conveyed the many aspects of battle in two very different geographic areas and his text is supported by maps in the body of text, and a selection of interesting images in a plate section.

After a lifetime as historian and writer Correlli Barnett has produced his most accomplished book to date. The Lords of War is no ordinary book on military leadership; it is an extraordinarily privileged examination of command in war at the highest level….The brilliance of this book is signposted in the author’s introductory essay on the nature of leadership. … This book is a most compelling read for the military historian and the general reader alike. It is Correlli Barnett at his vintage best.
