The Magere brothers' half-sister Kitiria, of course, joins Ariakis' army and eventually shows up as a Dragonlord in the Dragonlance Chronicles. She starts the book having just given birth to Sturm's child, whom we will only meet again in The Second Generation. That's the benefit of hindsight. She is sent on a mission by Ariakis, who is instantly lustful of her lithe body, to deliver a message to the red dragon Immolatus, an order by the Dark Queen to join Ariakis and his budding army.

Finally, I find the cover of this book to be curious. Throughout, Caramon is described as being head and shoulders taller than all the other soldiers in both armies. But in the cover painting, Raistlin clearly comes up to his brother's nose, and he even appears to be on the low side of a sloping path. Raistlin is never described as being particularly tall, but I suppose he might be. But I don't think so, as Horkin or others would certainly have noted it, even if he was always hunched over.
McGeorge ("Mac") Bundy attained fame as a Harvard dean, a White House aide, a foundation president, and a writer. His brother Bill ascended a more shadowy road from the intelligence community to the Defense and State Departments before he too became a writer and an editor of this journal. Both found much anguish in their encounters with Vietnam. Their stories are each important enough to merit a biography, and their father Harvey was no slouch either. Bird has written a solid narrative tracing their careers, a better book than his earlier biography of John McCloy. The first 250 pages, covering the years up to 1963, are good on the people but weak or tendentious when it comes to the policies, such as Berlin and Cuba. But Bird shifts to a higher gear when he turns to Vietnam, and the succeeding chapters are first-rate. Readable, fair, and aided by Bill Bundy's own manuscript on the war, Bird powerfully shows how the brothers struggled to craft a "vital center" but built one that could not hold.
"No single volume can of course cover all aspects of Portuguese military history in Europe and overseas, but this book makes a valuable contribution to the field. Especially for a non-Lusophone audience, this is a very good first start to examine the military revolution debate in relation to the Portuguese case."
