'Routledge has a truly impressive ?back catalogue of military history books, and it is very good news indeed that a number of them are once again in print. The authors represented include some of the biggest names in the field over the last half century - Corelli Barnett, Brian Bond, Christopher Duffy, and John Gooch to mention just four.
