In the tradition of “Guns, Germs, and Steel,” Leebaert tells the stories of small forces that have triumphed over vastly larger ones and changed the course of history – from the Trojan Horse to Al Qaeda.

To illustrate his point, he covers Western military history, from the siege of Troy through the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

688 pages. Softcover. Reprint. Includes maps and charts. 2007.
