comment
Tales of the Long Bow is a collection of short stories by G. K. Chesterton. It begins merely as a series of stories about men who literally enact common figures of speech, but these men's antics soon spiral out of control, until they almost by accident bring their society crashing to the ground.

Hollywood Tactics: Lampshaded and Justified. The book points out that under almost any imaginable set of circumstances, a war between the government of a fully industrialized modern country and a group of rebels armed primarily with bows would be a Curb-Stomp Battle in the government's favour. However, the peculiar social conditions prevailing at the time of the rebellion were such as to turn all the normal rules of strategy and logistics on their ear and completely paralyze the government armies. For example, under normal circumstances the government's armies would be well supplied with bullets for their guns while the rebels would have to take the time to make their arrows by hand. However, the workers of the ammunition factories were all on strike due to the government welching on its promises, and as such the government was left without supplies while the rebels were able to purchase what resources they needed.
