Synopsis

Revised and expanded to include over 1200 quotations, The Military Quotation Book brings together the wisdom of fallen heroes and living politicians, honoured statesmen and their rebellious writers - quoting official edicts as well as off-the-record remarks. Among the most authoritative - and the most opinionated are: General Douglas MacArthur - "It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it." Winston Churchill - "Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities. Stalin - "Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach." Voltaire - "An admiral has to put to death now and then to encourage the others. Dwight D. Eisenhower - "Nothing is easy in war." Franklin D. Roosevelt - "A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough." For everyone who loves the military - for history buffs, speechmakers, veterans, and anyone in active military service - The Military Quotation Book is a loaded canon of memorable expressions.
