  Synopsis Details Contents Reviews  
A collection of accounts of the battles that made the modern world from Wounded Knee to Desert Storm, described in detail by historians including John Keegan, Paul M. Kennedy and Alan Clark. Here are the great commanders, the strategy and the tactics, the decisive victories and cataclysmic disasters of two world wars, as well as wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, the Falklands and elsewhere. Here too is the awesome scale and vicious destructive power of modern warfare across battlefields ranging from Flanders to Basra, the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East to the fearsome jungles of Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
