It has changed my view of history and the worlds prospects for peace.By guy wilcoxIt distresses me that I have not heard of this book until recently and have not heard of any impact it may have had or may currently be having. either in the academy or in politics. national or international. His insights appear to have been developed during an impressively thorough historical study of dance and drill. His conclusions are consistent with my own intuitions and experience. The people apt to benefit most from it are likely not to get through the first chapter without scoffing or feeling uncomfortable. If I had one book to suggest be read (and thoroughly discussed) by the world. I think this would be the one.
