4.0 out of 5 stars Battles by Map - Ideal Coffee Table Book

R.o.B. · 31 May 2021

A coffer table wonder! If you love military history this is the volume to seek out. Set with an introduction by Peter Snow the book looks back as far as Kadesh and Thermopylae right up to 2003's Iraq war. The book is lavishly illustrated and takes each battle as a case study. It must be good because for the first time I managed to gain some real understanding of the Thirty Years War through the section on the Battle of White mountain. One disappointment however was the section on the Plains of Abraham where General Wolfe beat the French and sealed the future of an English-speaking America. This section is very sketchy and for some reason lacks the detail of other conflicts.It is from the 19th century to the present where the book excels. First Marne and Gallipoli are covered in detail and the progress of the battles set out clearly. more recently the section on the Six-Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbours shows the sheer scale of the Israeli victory although it could have been bookended with some commentary on Yom Kippur in 1973. The purpose of books such as this however are to dip into rather than read from cover to cover. This will satisfy the curious for many hours.

Some of History's Greatest Battles, Map by Map.

B. · 19 July 2025

From Rameses II vs the Hittites to the Invasion of Iraq in 2003, this book covers some of history's major battles. The Battle of Thermopylae, the Crusades, Waterloo, the American Revolution, Napoleonic Wars, World War I, a few battles from WW2 (there's a whole separate book in this series just for WW2), plus Korea, Vietnam, and the conflicts up until 2003 where the book ends, and that's just a few off the top of my head. Every map gives an excellent overview of each conflict and featured battle and a brief timeline of events.It's a large book in terms of height and width but not very thick (under 300 pages). But for the maps, this is understandable.
