About the book

John Keegan's The Face of Battle examines warfare from the perspective of the ordinary soldiers who actually experienced combat. Focusing on the battles of Agincourt, Waterloo and the Somme, Keegan reconstructs the physical and psychological realities faced by men on the battlefield. Rather than concentrating mainly on generals and strategy, the book explores fear, confusion, discipline and survival, making it a landmark work of military history.
