Summary: how bout a little more
Comment: THis is a wonderful treatise on the rise of the west and our essential values: Freedom and individualism. As the British at ROurkes Drift and the American at Midway dared to fight to end against superior numbers it was apparent that we, the west, and our values were the central point in why we won.
Thier is some question as to how this applies to Alexander in India, as he crushed his enemies through military genious. Was it because his soldiers were free thinkers?
...
This is a wonderful read, very well presented. The author weaves many tales together at once. When looking at Lepanto, the crucial naval victory that finally ended Islams relentless enslavement and raiding of Italians in the Medditeranean. The authors contention is that the victory had more to do with the birth of capitalism then the superiority of western military prowess. Indeed it was the Venicians who led the vanguard into the muslim masses, wading into them with the sword and the cross, but apparently secretly looking forward to the immense profits they would reap upon conqueriing the seas. True. This author is brilliant in showing us these esential values of how free market economics and freedom of speach helped us win time and again against brutal dictators whose soldiers never exersized independent thought and were doomed to failure like the Zulus.
A great account. Essential for understaning the key to the victory of the west over far cuperior military powers.
