History’s Greatest Battles by Nigel Cawthorne

From the Battle of Marathon to D-Day

Published in 2022, this book contains 300 pages with many illustrations and with maps. Of the 41 battles covered, three occurred after D-Day in 1944 – Iwo Jima and the fall of Berlin in 1945, and Dien Bien Phu in 1954 – many great accounts that showed that fate is not always on the side of the big battalions. Although not covered in the book, America’s more recent, disastrous 20-year military adventure in Afghanistan certainly proved that aphorism.
