Story4.5 out of 5 stars 12
From the time of Ancient Sumeria, the heavy infantry phalanx dominated the battlefield. Armed with spears or pikes, standing shoulder to shoulder with shields interlocking, the men of the phalanx presented an impenetrable wall of wood and metal to the enemy. Until, that is, the Roman legion emerged to challenge them as masters of infantry battle.

Interesting for the military expert, not above the casual listener. A great story well told.

Full of great details and interesting anecdotes. But it seems every page is a pro-US Navy commercial. And the author never fails to take every dig possible against the Air Force, while neglecting much of the positives of that service. Had to give up listening half way through.
