　　The effects of war refuse to remain local: they persist

through the centuries, sometimes in unlikely ways far removed from

the military arena. In Ripples of Battle , the acclaimed historian

Victor Davis Hanson weaves wide-ranging military and cultural

history with his unparalleled gift for battle narrative as he

illuminates the centrality of war in the human experience.

The Athenian defeat at Delium in 424 BC brought tactical

innovations to infantry fighting; it also assured the influence of

the philosophy of Socrates, who fought well in the battle. Nearly

twenty-three hundred years later, the carnage at Shiloh and the

death of the brilliant Southern strategist Albert Sidney Johnson

inspired a sense of fateful tragedy that would endure and stymie

Southern culture for decades. The Northern victory would also

bolster the reputation of William Tecumseh Sherman, and inspire Lew

Wallace to pen the classic Ben Hur . And, perhaps most resonant for

our time, the agony of Okinawa spurred the Japanese toward

state-sanctioned suicide missions, a tactic so uncompromising and

subversive, it haunts our view of non-Western combatants to this

day.
