The Roots of Modern Military Education 
By Lorenzo Ruiz, Strategy Bridge: “Prussia stands alone among the great military nations of Europe, and this honorable distinction is in a great measure the result of the diffused system of education throughout the country, and of the plan adopted by Stein and Scharnhorst, to make the officers the leaders of the army both in education and in military science.”

LESLEY BLANCE:  THE SABERS OF PARADISE, A HISTORY OF RUSSIAN IMPERIALISM IN THE CAUCASUS

Lesley Blanch, The Sabres Of Paradise: Conquest And Vengeance In The Caucasus (1960)
by Ralph Peters via Classics of Military History
For those who only know the Caucasus from recent conflicts—in Chechnya, South Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabagh and elsewhere—this book offers a vital historical perspective. Although Orthodox Russia battled Islamic powers on and off for centuries, Russia’s longest war, waged against hardline Islamists, lasted a full generation in the nineteenth century.
John Masters, Bugles And A Tiger (1956) And The Road Past Mandalay (1961)
by Ralph Peters via Classics of Military History
These two autobiographical volumes from a former (British) Indian Army officer begin by capturing a lost world, that of the Raj in the years before World War II, in the grand imperial twilight (punishing Afghan tribes, downing gin, and shooting tigers), then move into the desperate war years that doomed the British Empire. Masters’ account of fighting in Burma is an even-rawer version of George MacDonald Fraser’s superb memoir, Quartered Safe Out Here.

HISTORY OF THE CRUSADES:  3 VOLUMES

Steven Runciman, A History Of The Crusades (Three Volumes, 1951-54)
by Ralph Peters via Classics of Military History
The Crusades are often invoked, but rarely understood. Runciman’s modern classic remains the benchmark for its objectivity, clarity and literary merit. Of immediate value for military officers and civilian analysts, this work explodes pernicious current myths, while reporting human valor and folly, treachery and brilliance with enthralling narrative style.
