Despite its importance to so many aspects of the global economy and daily life, intellectual property policy remains a confusing and arcane subject.

This is much more than just another book to add to the thousands on The Great War. It sets out to fill a gap.

To get a true picture of this monumental event in history, it is necessary to grasp the fundamentals, be they military, political, social or simply human. The slaughters at Verdun, Somme and Passchendaele are no more than statistics without the stories of those that fought, drowned and died there.

It is one of those rare books that powerfully challenges received opinion and demands attention.
At the same time, it is a wonderful read that should hold appeal for any layman with an interest in the Greeks and Romans or simply in the history of warfare
