Warfare review (paperback) boulder3000 Hi there, just recived Warfare 2 days ago. The book has an excellent layout,full of pictures,fact boxes,charts timelines etc.Certainly a must read for any History or military buff of any age.Of course the time span it covers is too extensive hence the info provided is not of the in-depth kind but nonetheless very informative.The reason why I give it 4 stars is because the paperback binding is poor quality, at 512 pages it seems it will come apart any moment.All in all, lovely glossy book but beware the binding.. great product! Thanks, fast shipping, great product!. Our boys LOVE this book Our boys LOVE this book. They pull out this book out time and time again to read and re-read. A great investment that has taught and entertained our kids and their father. A great bargain to spend some father/son time together reading about all the "boy stuff" that thrills the males in our lives.
