Events would clearly mark on for mediocrity, the other for greatness) by Stephen W. Sears; "Why the Armada Failed" (Archaeologists working on the Armada wrecks have found an unsuspected reason: the inability of Spanish cannon to fire more than a single shot in battle) by Geoffrey Parker; "If the Armada had Landed" (Indications are that, if the Duke of Parma's own army had landed in England, it could have walked to London practically unopposed) by Colin Martin and Geoffrey Parker; "The General at Ease: An Interview with Westmoreland" (The former U.

Technology created him--and technology, curiously, may prove his undoing) by Martin Van Creveld; "The Tunnels of Hill 60" (In the Great War, generals willingly expended lives to win and hold a tiny man-made mound near Ypres. If, today, it hardly seems to rise above the surrounding landscape, there is a reason) by Robert Cowley; "Alexander in India: The Battle at the Edge of the Earth" (In the history of war, few gestures are more romantic than Alexander's decision to probe the terra incognita that was India--or to do battle with a beast that seemed right out of myth) by Arther Ferrill; "Britain's Finest Hour: Artists as Witnesses" (They left a matchless record of the desperate early years of World War II when the whole country was a front line. Here, in a special portfolio, is the work of six of the best) by Ken McCormack and Hamilton Darby Perry; "Mutiny on the Potemkin" (The actual event turns out to be less glorious than the revolutionary icon the communists and the moviemaker Eisenstein made of it, but more fascinating as a study of human behavior) by Elihu Rose; "Last Stand" (An eminent historian finds that Custer was less to be blamed than his opponents were to be admired. But for the Plains Indians, the Little Bighorn was the last stand) by Robert W. Utley; "In Review: Vann's Private War" (No American who served in Vietnam acquired more mystique than John Paul Vann.
