9.99 €
In his study of armed conflicts of the Middle Ages and the Modern Age, Edward Creasy selects eight of the most important battles of this period of history, allowing us to examine in detail a large-scale picture of the evolution of weaponry and warfare. The author analyzes the political balance of power at the time of the battle, characterizes the actions of the commanders, generals, and naval leaders, gives a detailed account of the battle itself, and finally concludes on its significance for the future course of history.
In this book you will get acquainted with the dramatic collisions of the Battle of Hastings and the Battle of Valmy, learn about the victories of Joan of Arc over the British at Orleans and the Americans over General Burgoyne at Saratoga, consider all aspects of the defeat of the Spanish Armada and Napoleon's battle at Waterloo, and also be able to evaluate the non-standard view of a foreign historian on the Battle of Poltava.
