As a reference guide to international conflict, this book has few
equals. Drawing upon the collective knowledge of multiple historians, it
summarizes over five thousand different battles ranging from the earliest
recorded fights of the ancient world up to engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The book is written in chronological order by period with each subsection
broken out by consecutive year. This makes for very easy reading and research.
Additionally, for the more significant engagements, coloured maps are included.
Each battle may be taken in context with others or read in isolation with equal
effect; an excellent reference text encompassing a daunting period.
