Book Review

For anyone to talk and write about wars, the basic predicament is how to create novelty of information since subjects related to wars and heroism are so well covered both in text and folklore. This is precisely the aspect where the author, D. Vijaya Rao, has been able to achieve distinction. The author’s technical knowledge, writing skills, and experience of working with the Defence Food Research Laboratory enables the 554-page book to delve into implied and understated principles and facts about wars from the prehistoric times to the latest form of warfare, without elaborating on the tactical aspects on which rich literature is already available.
