Summary, etc. Uses nine important confrontations between Western and non-Western armies over 2,500 years to answer the question "why have Western militaries, ideas and practices been so succesful". Shows that aspects of Western culture such as freedom, innovation, consensual government, organization, and technical superiority have all contributed to the ability of Western armies to be victorious against numerically larger foes often far from home.
