A distinguished team of 26 military historians reveals the decisive conflicts that have shaped world history from the 5th century BC to the 21st century.
A Comprehensive Overview of Key Battles
The course of history rarely changes so swiftly and decisively as on the battlefield. In this masterly overview, an international team of historians reconstructs and analyzes seventy key clashes spanning from 490 BC to the 21st century, appraising their profound impact on the world order.

- Sieges such as Constantinople and Tenochtitlan
- Naval battles at Trafalgar and Tsushima
- Aerial struggles, including the Battle of Britain
Truly global in scope, the collection marches from the Teutoburg Forest in AD 9, where the German tribes annihilated a Roman army, to Hakata Bay in 1281, where the Japanese defeated the Mongols, to the heart of the American Civil War at Gettysburg in 1863 and beyond.
