Synopsis
This title is a salute to the skill and bravery demonstrated on 22 of the world's most famous battlegrounds, offering exciting accounts of key phases in the battles that focus on the influence and usage of the terrain. It is illustrated with historic photographs and detailed mapping showing the positions and movements of the fighting forces. These maps combine art work and advanced software applications, making use of detailed topographical information, light and weather conditions, to create authentic representations of the action on the day. There is also information on what you can see on a visit to the sites today, and contact details for tour companies and battle parks. The featured battlefields are all served by battlefield tour companies, or may be visited on self-guided tours. As most post-1945 sites are not safe to visit, the period covered spans the eventful 150 years from 1805 to 1945.
