	As an armchair soldier I've been interested in finding
a book or series of books with a total vision of war.  Most works
are concerned with either a specific person, place, time, or weapon.
I wanted an overview or an outline.  Something like such and such
happened here which cause these people to invent this which led
to that or the other.  I'm aware that such works will have their
weaknesses, but they are important for their strategic strength.

	Some one at the Soldier Shop off of Madison Ave recommended
the West Point series.  What is the general net view on this series?

	Thanks in advance.  -Jimmy Chen (chenj@cmcl2.nyu.edu)
