The Centurions

The Centurions

The military cult classic with resonance to the wars in Iraq and Vietnamâ€”now back in print

WhenÂ The CenturionsÂ was first published in 1960, readers were riveted by the thrilling account of soldiers fighting for survival in hostile environments. They were equally transfixed by the chilling moral question the novel posed: how to fight when the â€œage of heroics is over.â€ As relevant today as it was half a century ago,Â The CenturionsÂ is a gripping military adventure, an extended symposium on waging war in a new global order, and an essential investigation of the ethics of counterinsurgency. Featuring a foreword by renowned military expert Robert D. Kaplan, this important wartime novel will again spark debate about controversial tactics in hot spots around the world.
