From Small Causes, Great Events

What we call "history" is comparable to an intricately woven tapestry. Remove one thread, replace it with another and the entire pattern is changed. In like manner the great arcs of history are comprised of small elements of chance, and world-altering decisions frequently turn on trivial matters. Vary the smallest detail and everything that follows changes. FROM SMALL CAUSES, GREAT EVENTS examines these details, opening the passageway to other possibilities for your consideration.

Urban warfare is perhaps the most costly, most difficult, most destructive form of warfare, greatly favoring those on defense, even forces otherwise significantly inferior. Covering the battles of Stalingrad, Hue and Mogadishu URBAN WARFARE examines the technological adaptations made by offensive powers to negate that intrinsic advantage. In the final analysis, no matter what the technology employed, the tenacity and resolve of the individual soldier determines the ultimate victor.
