The Forgotten Battles examines overlooked yet pivotal military history events from World War I and World War II. It argues that focusing solely on well-known battles like the Somme or Stalingrad creates an incomplete understanding of 20th-century conflicts. The book highlights underreported battles, revealing their strategic importance in resource allocation and troop movements, ultimately influencing the Allied and Axis war efforts.
A key insight involves understanding how seemingly isolated battles significantly impacted the entire conflict, demonstrating the interconnectedness of different war theaters. The book presents a narrative non-fiction account, drawing on primary sources such as soldiers' letters and military records. Beginning with the establishment of criteria for selecting these "forgotten battles," it delves into case studies from both World Wars. Examples include Eastern Front engagements beyond Tannenberg in WWI and the China-Burma-India Theater in WWII.
By exploring the human element and providing social context, the book offers fresh perspectives valuable to history enthusiasts and students of military history.
