There are essentially two ways of looking at this book. Either you are a true man of arms, who, I believe, will find this book particularly useful, or you are an ordinary man who will need a little more imagination.

The first three or four chapters are abstract and can be extrapolated to today's situations very well. Although when the book talks about nature and landscape and its tactical effect during war I found it hard to imagine any practical use. But that could be just me.
