    Putting us in the middle of the battle!

    2nd best book by R.G. Grant. I own 3 of his titles and it comes 2nd to COMMANDERS. BATTLE takes us back to the biggest and most important battles and puts us right in the middle. Maps, locations, casualty count, and dates are precise and help us comprehend the desperation on the battlefield. Beautiful art,hundreds of battles,famous quotes- what more could a man want? A must-own.
