The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World: from Marathon to Waterloo

Edward Shepherd Creasy

Publisher Description

This book tells the story of the fifteen military engagements (from Marathon to Waterloo) which, according to the author, had a significant impact on world history. The selection reflects the worldview of a 19th century European with a classical education: fourteen of the battles took place in the arc of historically interconnected military theatres which stretched from Persia through the Mediterranean Basin to Europe, and one was fought by European powers and former colonies in North America.
