It is a fascinating and comprehensive collection which includes over 5000 quotations and spam the past two thousand years. The words of Catherine The Great are here, along with those of Churchill, Shakespeare, Nimitz, Clausewitz, Kant, and John F. Kennedy. Napoleon I and Thomas Jefferson share a page with Robert E. Lee and Alfred Thayer Mahan. The scope of the subject matter covered by the quotations is extensive. The table of rubrics runs from Action to Zeal with 365 pages in between.

Well known for his style and wit, Heinl contributed articles to The New Republic, The Atlantic Monthly, National Geographic, and American Heritage. Prior to his death in 1979 he was a nationally syndicated columnist.…
