THE REAL BOOK ABOUT FAMOUS BATTLES

Vivid accounts of historic battles through the Battle of Britain in World War II are meaningfully re-enacted here with precise attention paid to the motivating factors and ensuing results. The battles selected include the Marathon, Cannae, The Spanish Armada, Saratoga, the Battle of the Monitor and the Merrimac, and the Battle of Gettysburg. Unlike many historical collections, there is spark and enthusiasm lacing authoritative fact.
