The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World: From… de Edward Shepherd Creasy
Descriptions of the battles, victors, vanquished, and political implications of the times. The author rarely makes it clear as to why they these battles were so decisive. Prose is overdone - written in 1851
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....................
Very useful for home schooling history - I might go so far as to say indispensable. This is history as it was once taught, Battles and Great Men (and Women) and should not be entirely neglected in favour of the currently popular emphasis on social history and daily life of ordinary folk.
