　　Heroism in battle has been celebrated throughout history, yet

it is one of the least understood virtues. What makes some men and

women perform extraordinary deeds on the battlefield? What makes

them risk their lives in the pursuit of victory?Max Hastings, one

of our foremost military historians, has seen combat up close and

written about it for decades. In Warriors, he brings us the

experiences of fourteen soldiers who fought in the wars of the

nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From an exuberant cavalry

officer in Napoleon’s army to an abused orphan who in World War II

became America’s youngest general since Custer, to an Israeli

officer who recovered from a devastating injury to save his

country, each portrait depicts a unique and remarkable story. A

tribute to soldierly valor and a deeply insightful study of combat,

this is an essential book for anyone who wishes to understand what

it means to be at war.

媒体评论

　　“Fantastically entertaining. . . . [Hastings] acts as a sort

of Plutarch to the modern warrior. His ‘lives’ are splendidly done,

full of compelling narrative and telling detail.” —The Wall Street

Journal

　　“Hastings is an expert literary craftsman who makes the most out

of stories that, however often repeated, are never less than

gripping.... a first-rate piece of entertainment.”—The Washington

Post Book World

　　“Clever, absorbing and vividly written. . . Max Hasting is very

good on the matter of courage.”—The New York Review of Books

　　“Hastings has written a marvelous book. Wry, perceptive and

engaging, it lays bare the curious mix of character traits - good

and bad - that a successful warrior requires.”—The Sunday

Telegraph
