The Seventy Great Battles of All Time
Organized chronologically into seven parts, this book ecompasses the ancient and medieval worlds as well as the wars of the past hundred years, including the conflict in Iraq. The reader is presented with an authoritative and comprehensive analysis of each battle and its place in history. The contributors look at not only the greatest land battles of all time, but sieges, naval battles, and intense air conflicts.
Beautifully illustrated in colour with hundreds of photographs, contemporary paintings and specially commisioned battle maps, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in military history.
