I do not understand how I could have forgotten to list Churchill's Second World War which is absolutely indispensable and a classic. His World Crisis, a treatment of World War I, is first-rate.

Manchester's biography of Churchill is great as is Randolph's succeeded by Martin Gilbert.

The biography of Douglas MacArthur, American Caesar, is worth reading but of course with a left-wing assault.

It might be instructive to also read about little-known wars, at least as I was taught.

I think the Russo-Japanese War, Crimean War and others should be part of anyone’s study.
