Rocio had to share my attention with old generals and chapter drafts for far too long. Last, and by no means least, I would like to thank my family, and in particular my wife Rocio, for their help and understanding. Without him, I would not be where I am today. Even though his role in the project was only a small one I would like to thank Professor Sir Hew Strachan from Oxford University for his continuous support. I would also like to thank the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, in particular the Director of Studies Sean McKnight, my colleagues in the War Studies Department and Andrew Orgill and his team from the library. I know that without this support the road to publication of this book would have been far bumpier than it turned out to be. My role as the editor was made even easier by the outstanding support provided by Marcus Cowper and his team at Osprey. All the contributors worked with a high level of professionalism which made my work as the editor an enjoyable task. It is often said that looking after academics is worse than herding cats, but this was most definitely not the case in this project. First and foremost, I would like to thank the contributors to this book. Acknowledgements A book such as this cannot be written without the help and support of numerous people and this is the place to thank them.
