Gaius Octavius Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Adrian Goldsworthy also wrote "In the Name of Rome" which I read, and thought was excellent. It tells the stories of the greatest commanders that shaped Rome... many of which none of you ever heard of before!(At least I haven't!) Who are they?

Furius Venator Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Furius used it to describe Fuller and Hart's pushing of a particular and basically correct point of view I'm not so sure that they were 'basically correct'. They set out with the modern idea that mobility is paramount and so tend to be critical of anything that suggests defensive mindedness. Hence Fuller regards the use of marching camps as akin to trench warfare mentality. Which it clearly was not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
