The Battle of Anghiari: "This Most Bestial Madness"
Described by eminent art historians as perhaps his greatest work, Leonardo Da Vinci's "Battle of Anghiari" defined for centuries the way artists portray the fury of battle and the anatomy and motion of warriors and horses in combat. The lost work sparked intense and on-going debate, and inspired many other great masters working in a variety of media. But, the battle has disappeared from history. Why?
Xenophon's "Hipparchicus, Commander of Cavalry"
Historian, biographer, memoirist, and companion of Socrates, at the end of his life Xenophon wrote a small book of advice about reforming the Athenian cavalry.

The wily survivor offers subtle insights on leadership as well as observations valuable to modern theorists and practioners of the "mounted service" that will always resonate.

'BRAD': The GI’s General - Omar N. Bradley (1893-1981)
Omar Bradley was one of a handful of “larger than life” figures to emerge from World War II and go on to deeply influence the post-war era. Those later contributions especially have shaped our history and culture in decisive, dramatic, and virtually unexamined ways. The challenges we face – fighting fanatic global enemies, organizing our forces for that and other struggles, coordinating our strategy with allies, determining the roles and powers of our military leaders, and providing care and benefits for our veterans – were framed in the top counsels of our government by Omar Bradley.
Reading the Bible as Military History
More than 3,500 years ago, Abram, the leader of the Hebrews, led his men on a daring, long-distance, night time commando raid to rescue hostages. Hidden in a very brief passage of Genesis is the story of the first organized military action and victory of the Jewish people, a tale of courage and inspired leadership.
The Philosophy of War: A General Inquiry
Does it make any sense to talk about a "philosophy of war?" What kinds of things would be discussed in such an academic sub-category? Whose works would make up the canon of such a study and discussion? On that point, why is it that Carl von Clausevitz's early 19th century work "On War" is the most often cited work considered to be a work of philosophy? In a world where war is so common, why is there is no systematic examination of its "first principles?" These are only a few of the questions that spark this general inquiry.
