I hope there is already a thread existing for this question.
While DD was telling a story of a summer event where she had to lead her group to defend a position, and instead of digging in a defending, she organized an attack on the attackers, I told her of Joshua Chamberlain and Little Round Top (if you're about to be wiped out, only choice is to attack). She said she would like reading material on such stories of military history and strategy to learn from past events. Using the Civil War as an example, I don't want to give her Shelby Foote's three volume treatise just to get Chamberlain's story.
Does anyone know of a compilation of such stories of battles, strategy, etc., that would not necessarily be limited to any particular time and place? Like picking out just the good parts? Like taking various parts of O'Brian's 20 books to make one Master and Commander movie.
Thanks
