Maps, paintings, and photographs reveal the stories behind more than 90 of the most important battles ever to take place, and show how fateful decisions led to glorious victories and crushing defeats.
From medieval battles and great naval battles to the era of high-tech air battles, key campaigns are analysed in detail - the weapons, the soldiers, and the military strategy.

Whether at Marathon, Agincourt, Gettysburg, or Stalingrad, Battles that Changed History takes you into the thick of combat and shows how kingdoms and empires have been won and lost on the battlefield.
