Description

In the grand tradition of Edward Creasy's classic Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World, James Lacey and Williamson Murray spotlight only those engagements that changed the course of civilization. In gripping narrative accounts they bring these conflicts and eras to vivid life, detailing the cultural imperatives that led inexorably to the battlefield, the experiences of the common soldiers who fought and died, and the legendary commanders and statesmen who matched wits, will, and nerve for the highest possible stakes. From the great clashes of antiquity to the high-tech wars of the twenty-first century, here are the stories of the twenty most consequential battles ever fought, including

Marathon, where Greece's "greatest generation" repelled Persian forces three times their numbers--and saved Western civilization in its infancyAdrianople, the death blow to a disintegrating Roman EmpireTrafalgar, the epic naval victory that cemented a century of British supremacy over the globeSaratoga, the first truly American victory, won by united colonial militias, which ensured the ultimate triumph of the RevolutionMidway, the ferocious World War II sea battle that broke the back of the Japanese navyDien Bien Phu, the climactic confrontation between French imperial troops and Viet Minh rebels that led to American intervention in Vietnam and marked the rise of a new era of insurgent warfareOperation Peach, the perilous 2003 mission to secure a vital bridge over the Euphrates River that would open the way to Baghdad
