Description
The Fifteen Decisive Battles Of The World From Marathon To Waterloo is a book written by Sir Edward Creasy. It is a historical account of fifteen battles that had a significant impact on the course of world history. The book covers battles from ancient Greece to the Napoleonic Wars, and each chapter is dedicated to a specific battle. The book begins with the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC, where the Athenians defeated the Persians, and ends with the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, where the British and their allies defeated Napoleon's army. The other battles covered in the book include the Battle of Thermopylae, where the Spartans fought against the Persians, the Battle of Hastings, where the Normans conquered England, and the Battle of Saratoga, where the American Revolutionaries defeated the British.The author provides a detailed account of each battle, including the background, the strategies employed by each side, and the outcome. He also analyzes the impact of each battle on world history and how they shaped the course of events. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers of all levels of knowledge.Overall, The Fifteen Decisive Battles Of The World From Marathon To Waterloo is an informative and engaging read for anyone interested in history, military strategy, or world events. It is a classic work that has stood the test of time and remains a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the impact of these pivotal battles on the course of world history.In Upper Asia, beyond the Euphrates, the direct and material influence of Greek ascendancy was more short-lived. Yet, during the existence of the Hellenic kingdoms in these regions, especially of the Greek kingdom of Bactria, the modern Bokhara, very important effects were produced on the intellectual tendencies and tastes of the inhabitants of those countries and of the adjacent ones, by the animating contact of the Grecian spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
