An engaging and authoritative account of the battles that changed the face of history.
Lieutenant General Jonathon Riley is a retired British Army officer and visiting professor at King's College London, UK.
This is a well written book by an expert in his field. Few British
Army officers have as much practical experience of conflict as
Jonathon Riley. He draws on these personal experiences, his wide
knowledge of military history and his sharp intellect to great
effect. I commend this book to both the serious student of the
military art and also to the general reader.
*General Sir Richard Dannatt*
‘This work is incisive in both why the battles are decisive and in
the description of them with excellent accompanying maps.'
*The Bulletin for the Military Historical Society*
