Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Undoubtedly the most famous work of military history of the nineteenth century, Edward S. Creasy's Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World has been read and re-read for close to 150 years. It is not only the authoritative account of each battle that makes Creasy's work such a classic—it is his command of narrative, his interest in human struggle, his profound deductions as to effects of the battles, and his striving after truth. Furthermore, his selections seem as wise and well-considered today as when Fifteen Decisive Battles first appeared in 1851: Nobody since has made better ones, nor given us better accounts. Apart from the scholarship and literary skill of Creasy's book, there is another reason it has endured: Creasy was essentially fair-minded. He had been a judge, and when he became England's great military critic and historian, he maintained a thoroughly judicial attitude. He was not a British partisan, nor French, nor German—he was a cosmopolitan observer of great events.Out of 2300 years, Creasy only found fifteen battles which he called decisive in the highest sense. He chose them not for the number of killed and wounded, nor for their status in myth and lore, but because they fundamentally changed the course of world history. In doing so, he made his book a miniature military history of the western world, a classic that will repay continued study for generations to come, as it has for generations.

The Universal Peace Society certainly does not, and probably never will, enrol the majority of statesmen among its members.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a fascinating view of the most important battles as seen from the perspective of 1851... Since it was written over 160 years ago and should not be expected to reflect modern sensibilities.While many of us are at least aware of the battle of Marathon, the battle of Arbela and Metaurus are not nearly so well remembered today. Look back a century and a half to see what they thought, which were the most important conflicts, and how they saw them.Well worth spending a quiet evening in the company of Sir Edward Shepherd Creasy. His view is very Eurocentric, and his faith is a reflection of "Musclular Christianity", a concept popular at the time of this books creation. This was written in the heyday of the "New Imperialism" that saw European, American, and Asian expansion that went well into the the 20th century and culminated in World War II." -- From a published review.

Download or read book The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World: from Marathan to Waterloo written by Edward Shepherd Creasy and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-01-03 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a classic in the field of military history. Historical writers who can weave myth and symbolism in to their writing carry forward important ideas and concepts for the collective. This is precisely what Creasy has done in his book, organizing his material around the idea that war is productive of something. He influenced every writer of military history who followed. That in itself is enough to promote the book. "15 Decisive Battles" is an excellent introduction to general military history, a perspective often missing in college history courses. Creasy is a generalist but for that very reason, this a good book to start with. Written long ago, his book necessarily omits more recent military candidates, yet vividly captures 15 moments when history stood at a cusp (perhaps Marathon and Waterloo in particular).
