Among the battles addressed are: Salamis, Cannae, Hastings, Tannenberg,Agincourt, Lepanto, Blenheim, Trafalgar, Waterloo, Antietam, Gettysburg, Verdun, The Somme, Stalingrad, Midway, Normandy, and Operation "Iraqi Freedom". This book introduces 30 major battles from the Ancient era to the present day. Beginning with the battle of Marathon (490 BC), where a combined force of Greeks defeated a much larger Persian invasion force, the book covers key battles right up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq by U.S.-led coalition forces. Each battle includes a concise account of the action, with a broader introductory context and an analysis of the aftermath. A specially commissioned color map illustrating the dispositions and movement of forces brings the subject to life and helps the reader easily grasp the decisive points of the battle. Including more than 250 color and black-and-white photographs, artworks, and maps illustrating the battles, leading figures, and tactics of the era, Great Battles offers an information-packed introduction to some of the best-known battles in military history.
