It's the drama, danger, tragedy, heroism, smoke, shouts, and shellfire of historic battles, captured in one large, lavish volume. Maps, artists' renditions of battlefields, historic photos, topographic diagrams, and vivid text combine in reconstructions of 17 military conflicts that changed the course of history. From the American Civil War, author Tim Newark describes First Bull Run (1861), Chickamauga (1863), and Vicksburg (1863). From World War I he presents Verdun (1916), and Vimy Ridge (1917). Among several major World War II battles he recounts are the Battle of Britain and London Blitz (1940), rightly called by Winston Churchill England's finest hour; Arnhem (1944), which inspired the film, A Bridge Too Far; and the Battle for Berlin (1945), which marked the end of the Nazi Third Reich. Momentous battles from the more distant past are also covered, including Constantinople (1453), the Turkish offensive that brought about the Byzantine Empire's collapse; and Culloden (1746), the last battle fought on British soil between the Scots and the English. Every combat description includes--- Eyewitness accounts-- Historic photos
