Warfare and the Book of Mormon

This is where I publish my preliminary research notes and ideas concerning warfare in the Book of Mormon. This is a spot for civilians, military historians, members of the LDS church and anybody else who enjoys studying the military aspects of the Book of Mormon and its impact on the LDS Church, society and the field of military history.

About Me

My photo
Morgan Deane
I have degrees from Southern Virginia University and Norwich University and I've pursued an MPhil/PhD at Kings College London. I have presented or published papers on Napoleonic warfare, Chinese military theory, Book of Mormon warfare, and the American Civil War. I'm a former infantry riflemen, squad leader and intelligence analyst. I am the author of numerous books and articles including "The Battle Experience in the Book of Mormon." My most recent book is Beyond Sun-Tzu: Classical Chinese Debates on War and Statecraft. Currently I teach history at American Public University. My political and military analysis can be found in the Epoch Times, Opslens magazine, Strategy and Tactics, Fox News, Strategy Bridge, the Washington Examiner and other places.
