It's good to get a child to read Victor Davis Hanson, because his work is not fit for adults.

Don't get me wrong, I love his editorials. He's even a pretty good classicist. However, as a military historian, he sucks. If he did not write what people want to hear, he would justly remain in obscurity. It is the Stephen Ambrose school of shamelessly kissing your reader's ass in order to sell books.

Not being anything like an expert myself in military history, whom would you recommend, or, whom do you consider a miltary historian for a noob?

Your sir are entitled to your opinion. It is a shame that you lack the ability to communicate your ideas in beautiful prose. Example - "shamelessly kissing your kissing your reader's ass". Don't you think a person of your level of education and insight could come up with something more prosaic?
