I posted a few weeks ago asking for recommendations on military books for
beginners.  This is a summary of the books which were recommended:

	How to Make War, James Dunnigan  * this was recommended twice
	Evolution of Weapons and Warfare, Trevor Dupuy
	Understanding War: History and Theory of Combat, Trevor Dupuy
	The Face of Battle, John Keegan
	Strategy, Edward Luttwak  *  This book was recommended 3 times.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

	[ Add a third recommendation for Dunnigan!  And if you can find
	  it, B.H. Liddel-Hart's _Strategy_ is very highly recommended.
