On the tactical level, \u003ci\u003eThe Second World War\u003c\/i\u003e can still be read with profit.\" Fuller himself characterized the book, however, as \"in part a least a psychological study of the folly of man.\" Expertly combining detailed military history and analysis with Clausewitzian insights based on his own theories of warfare, Fuller produced a modern military masterpiece in \u003ci\u003eThe Second World War.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMajor General\u003cb\u003e J.F.C.
