All the essential details of every major battle in recorded history on land and at sea—from the first battle of Megiddo in 1479 B.C. to Grenada in 1984—are covered. For added convenience, An Encyclopedia of Battles lists the engagements in alphabetical order, from “Aachen,” the first entry, to “Zutphen,” the last.
You’ll find painstakingly researched, objectively written descriptions of the Persian-Greek conflicts of the fifth century B.C., Roman Empire wars, Napoleonic Wars, the American Civil War, World Wars I and II and many more. Also included are penetrating analyses of the roles played by commanders of genius—Alexander, Julius Caesar, Hannibal, Napoleon, Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, Khalid ibn al-Walid and other momentous figures. Updating this already comprehensive resource, a new Appendix deals with more recent conflicts: the Vietnam War, the Yom Kippur War, the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, the Iran-Iraq War, the Falkland Islands clash, the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the U.S. invasion of Grenada.
