How to Make War by James Dunnigan

I have two other Dunnigan books (with co-author A. A. Nofi), Dirty Little Secrets and Dirty Little Secrets of WWII. Both are great reads, although the first only has some use for T2K and the second almost none.


One of the more useful parts of the book (3rd edition) for T2K players/refs are the charts on the militaries of the world circa 1995.

I keep telling myself she's worth it...
