book you brought to class?
The reason why I selected the book I brought back to class is because it seemed to have a bit of my ancestor history and where I came from. I am Irish and Scottish, and the book deals with Celts, Scottish, and Irish culture and their strategies with warfare.

Step 2
History is essential for today’s world in more ways than one. It tells us today who we are and where we come from. More importantly it also gives us an idea of the mistakes we have made in the pass and how to avoid to make it again. A perfect example of history that helps mold the world into what it is today is warfare. In the book, Celctic Warfare 1595-1763, James Michael Hill was able to point out Celts tactics in warfare that helped lead them to victory. One of the tactics the Celts used that James Michael Hill was able to pick out was, “Traditionally, the Celts were not aggressors, but defenders, and their military strength was based on irregular tactics and a simple defense strategy” ( Hill 22). What Hill was trying to explain here is the Celts relied more on defensive side of strategy and less on the attack. The Celts were able to use uncommon tactics that the enemies were unfamiliar with, giving them an advantage. Celtic warfare is only a mere example of variety of strategies used to lead nations to victory. Regardless of what the strategy was it was still significant because battles have led to or destroyed a nation that is part of today’s world.
