Today's episode borrows heavily from Victor Davis Hanson's book, 'The Western Way of War," whose thesis is that the way Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon and all great Western generals down to today chose to wage war was to seek a pitched, decisive infantry battle that, at one blow, would decide everything. Where did this idea come from? From the ancient Greeks.
