520    "It is one of the more startling facts of military history
       that the founders of three of the four "great religions" -
       - Judaism, Buddhism, and Islam-- were also accomplished 
       field generals with extensive experience in commanding men
       in battle. One of these, Muhammed, fought eight battles 
       and was wounded twice, once almost fatally. Another, 
       Siddhartha Gautama (later to become the Buddah), witnessed
       so much battlefield carnage that he suffered a 
       psychological collapse. Moses had become so much a "god-
       intoxicated" personality that it is a reasonable suspicion
       that he, like the Buddah, was murdered. Indeed, had the 
       experiences of these men in war not been so successful, it
       is quite possible that their achievements as religious 
       leaders would never have occured. For all three, war and 
       religion were so closely intertwined in ther personalities
       that it is difficult to discern where the influence of one
       ended and the other began. This book attempts to explore 
       the military lives of Moses, the Buddah, and Muhammad, and
       the role their war experiences played in their religious 
       lives." --|cBook jacket.
