I received a copy of this book from Edelweiss for review. This does not affect my rating or opinions.

The professed goal of this book is to make military strategy “interesting and accessible” to the average reader, and they definitely accomplished that. Some of the essays are really insightful and draw thought-provoking parallels between Star Wars and modern military protocol, while others read more like awkward fanfiction; overall, though, I did gain a better understanding and increased appreciation for the art of war.
