Go down dusty roads, over bridges, and through fords to the battlefields, with crisp, narrative descriptions to bring them to life. Images are described in compelling detail, giving you the eerie sensation of actually being there. Each of these 13 victories has an extra element of intrigue -- by all practical accounts, it should have been a defeat. With views from both sides, see how infallible the strategies seemed.

Bryan Perrett left the army as a successful career officer to take up the pen as a full-time writer.

His many books, all founded on meticulous research from primary sources, find a wide popular readership. He is the bestselling author in the bestselling Cassell Military Classics series.
