From the Dust Jacket: "The book combines practical information with a fascinating historical perspective. Each section opens with a brief scene-setter which states why the armies were there and what their objectives were. Next comes a description of the terrain, since this is crucial to the course of each battle. Lastly, an account of the actual battle is given. Easy-to-follow maps allow the visitor to see each hill and valley where key strategic conflicts were fought, and modern day photos -- often juxtaposed with period shots -- bring immediacy to the conflict.".

Store description

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
