The article focuses on several books. "Strategy: The Indirect Approach," by B.H. Liddel Hart offers a summary of what can be and has been achieved throughout history by the "indirect approach" in battles. But the best part of the book is the brief but searching preface, which deals with present prospect as affected by the new weapons and which cannot fail to stir the layman as well as the soldier to serious thinking about whether they are moving in the right direction. The book "Yankee Whalers in the South Seas," by A.B.C. Whipple tells wonderful stories of rogue whales, cannibals, marooners, and runaway sailors.
