"This volume, spanning nearly three centuries of professional warfare, chronicles sixteen battles, from Blenheim in 1704 and Waterloo in 1815 to Burma in 1945. David Chandler, the head of the War Studies Department at Sandhurst, has gathered a team of widely respected military historians to describe the major battles. Each battle is placed within its strategic context, with ample discussion of both cause and outcome. The battle accounts focus on the actions of the British forces and, when appropriate, of the Australian, Canadian, American, and the French allies who fought alongside them.
