HISTORYS GREATEST BATTLES (BATTLE OF MARATHON TO D DAY) (PB)

Great battles mark history's turning points, occurring where cultures and ideologies clash. From the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC, when the vastly outnumbered Athenian army turned back an invasion of the mighty Persian empire, up to the Vietnamese defeat of the French army at the battle of Dien Bien Phu, the battles in this book demonstrate that fate is not always on the side of the big battalions.
