Seven Myths of Military History (Myths of History: A Hackett Series)
by John D. Hosler&“This brief, provocative, and accessible book offers snapshots of seven pernicious myths in military history that have been perpetrated on unsuspecting students, readers, moviegoers, game players, and politicians. It promotes awareness of how myths are created by 'the spurious misuse and ignorance of history' and howmisleading ideas about a military problem, as in asymmetric warfare, can lead to misguided solutions. &“Both scholarly and engaging, this book is an ideal addition to military history and historical methodology courses. In fact, it could be fruitfully used in any course that teaches critical thinking skills, including courses outside the discipline of history. Military history has a broad appeal to students, and there&’s something here for everyone. From the so-called 'Western Way of War' to its sister-myth, technological determinism, to the &‘academic party game&’ of once-faddish &‘Military Revolutions,&’ the book shows that while myths about history may be fun, myth busting is the most fun of all.&”—Reina Pennington, Norwich University

When Benni's stepson announces his plans to marry into the wealthy, influential Brown family, she and her husband are invited to the Browns' sprawling ranch, Seven Sisters, to celebrate the engagement. But the party takes a tragic turn when a member of the esteemed family is murdered. While trying to unravel the feuding clan's tangled past, Benni uncovers a shocking pattern of tragedy--and stitches a hodgepodge of clues into a very disturbing design. . .
