A war fought for either selfish or any altruistic reason, is detrimental to mankind. The perils of any war is not only horrendous but changes the course of history.This book portrays the exact sentiments on how an active battle-front can influence the working of human life. This book periodically categorizes 50 influential battles ever fought from 'The Marathon'(490BC) to the 'Battle of Atlantic'(1935-45AD). William Weir puts forth a highly detailed encyclopedia of conflicts while meticulously extracting every influential technique of the war front.A brilliant and informative read especially for an individual like myself, who is a novice of the war literature.
