The Osprey Quizmaster
On his eleventh birthday, the Osprey Quiz Master was given a cake topped with toy soldiers, depicting the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. Later that day, while picking plastic bayonets out of his teeth, he determined to devote his life to the study of military history. Aided by a forged library card, the Osprey Quiz Master spent the next twenty years fishing factoids and anecdotes from the morass of human conflict. This book is a product of the things that can be found in his fish bucket.
