Acknowledgements
This volume would not have been possible without the efforts of numerous individuals. I wish to thank all those who agreed during the midst of an epidemic to participate in this project. With access often to materials cut off and mostly only electronic communication available, the project had its serious obstacles. Many of you I had known for decades, but some I only knew by reputation and publication. Everyone proved a pleasure to work with, and all have generously given of their time and expertise to produce what is a most comprehensive volume on the campaigns of this most famous father and son.
Additionally, I would very much like to acknowledge the participation of the general series editor, Lee Brice, in this volume. He has overseen it from the beginning, and, indeed, has also contributed an Introduction and a chapter. I also appreciate the efforts of the Brill team, Mirjam Elbers and Giulia Moriconi and the production editors as well as the anonymous peer reviewers. Thank you all.
