	Reviewer Comment: Sir Charles Oman was a contemporary of Hans Delbruck. Sir Charles' books are much different from Delbruck's. They are much more focused on the battlefield, and warfare. They include much less about the interrelationship of politics and warfare or about social, or economic aspects of war.
