Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The names of history's most famous battles still ring in our ears today, their influence immediately understood by all. Marathon lent its name to the world's most famous race, but it also preserved Western civilization during the First Persian War. Saratoga, won by one of the colonists' most renowned war heroes before he became his nation's most vile traitor. Hastings ensured the Normans' success in England and changed the course of British history. Waterloo, which marked the reshaping of the European continent and Napoleon's doom, has now become part of the English lexicon. Given the magnitude and importance of these battles, it's no surprise that historians and readers still cover all of these battles today. In The 15 Decisive Battles of The World From Marathon to Waterloo, Sir Edward Creasy covers history's most famous battles one chapter at a time, including: THE BATTLE OF MARATHONDEFEAT OF THE ATHENIANS AT SYRACUSE, B.C. 413.THE BATTLE OF ARBELA, B.C. 331.THE BATTLE OF THE METAURUS, B.C. 207.VICTORY OF ARMINIUS OVER THE ROMAN LEGIONS UNDER VARUS, A.D. 9.THE BATTLE OF CHALONS, A.D. 451.THE BATTLE OF TOURS, A.D. 732.THE BATTLE OF HASTINGS, A.D. 1066.JOAN OF ARC'S VICTORY OVER THE ENGLISH AT ORLEANS, A.D. 1429.THE DEFEAT OF THE SPANISH ARMADA, A.D. 1588.THE BATTLE OF BLENHEIM, A.D. 1704.THE BATTLE OF PULTOWA, A.D. 1709.VICTORY OF THE AMERICANS OVER BURGOYNE AT SARATOGA, A.D. 1777.THE BATTLE OF VALMY.THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO, 1815.Creasy's book is indicative of 19th century European thinking; it includes explicit references to the deplorable barbarism and immorality of non-Europeans. In fact, the reason Creasy gives for the significance of many of the fifteen battles, is that they kept non-Europeans away from European soil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World: from Marathon to Waterloo is a book written by Sir Edward Shepherd Creasy and published in 1851. This book tells the story of the fifteen military engagements, which, according to the author, had a significant impact on world history. The selection reflects the worldview of a 19th-century European with a classical education: fourteen of the battles took place in the arc of historically interconnected military theatres which stretched from Persia through the Mediterranean Basin to Europe, and one was fought by European powers and former colonies in North America. Contents: The battle of Marathon -- Defeat of the Athenians at Syracuse, B.C. 413 -- The battle of Arbela, B.C. 331 -- The battle of the Metaurus, B.C. 207 -- Victory of Arminius over the Roman Legions under Varus, A.D. 9 -- The battle of Chalons, A.D. 451 -- The battle of Tours, A.D. 732 -- The battle of Hastings, A.D. 1066 -- Joan of Arc's Victory over the English at Orleans, A.D. 1429 -- The defeat of the Spanish Armada, A.D. 1588 -- The battle of Blenheim, A.D. 1704 -- The battle of Pultowa, A.D. 1709 -- Victory of the Americans over Burgoyne at Saratoga, A.D. 1777 -- The battle of Valmy, A.D. 1792 -- The battle of Waterloo, A.D. 1815.

This book was released on 2018-12-02 with total page 900 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest military historian of our time continues his magnificent chronicle of the wars, battles, captains and commanders, weapons, and ideologies which have shaped the Western world. Major-General J. F. C. Fuller, a pioneer of mechanized warfare in Great Britain, was one of the twentieth century’s most renowned military strategists and historians. In this magisterial work he spans military history from the Greeks to the end of World War II, describing tactics, battle lines, the day-to-day struggles while always relating affairs on the field to the larger questions of social, political, and economic change in Western civilization. A masterpiece of scholarship and biting prose, this second volume of three describes the 16th-century rivalry between England and Spain, the Thirty Years War, struggle between France and England, American Revolutionary War, and the rise and fall of Napoleon. “General Fuller’s ‘Military History,’ seen as a whole, is a magnificent survey of the evolution of western military organization, tactics and strategy from the earliest times to the present: and perhaps its outstanding feature is the fact that this evolution is always seen within the context of political and social history, the author being careful to demonstrate the reciprocal relationship which exists between military establishments on the one hand and civilian societies which support them on the other.”—New York Herald Tribune

Book excerpt: Decisive Battles The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World from Marathon to Waterloo By Sir Edward Creasy, M.A. It is an honourable characteristic of the Spirit of this Age, that projects of violence and warfare are regarded among civilized states with gradually increasing aversion. The Universal Peace Society certainly does not, and probably never will, enrol the majority of statesmen among its members. But even those who look upon the Appeal of Battle as occasionally unavoidable in international controversies, concur in thinking it a deplorable necessity, only to be resorted to when all peaceful modes of arrangement have been vainly tried; and when the law of self-defence justifies a State, like an individual, in using force to protect itself from imminent and serious injury. For a writer, therefore, of the present day to choose battles for his favourite topic, merely because they were battles, merely because so many myriads of troops were arrayed in them, and so many hundreds or thousands of human beings stabbed, hewed, or shot each other to death during them, would argue strange weakness or depravity of mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brand new edition contains the complete text, and has been completely reformatted and updated with 50 illustrations and maps. One of the greatest classics of military history ever written, produced by an English historian who understood the significance of race in history. The author selected fifteen battles which he considered as history-changing. Each chapter provides a detailed account of the preceding events, a blow-by-blow account of the battle itself, and its immediate consequences for European and world history. Five of the battles selected were critical to the survival of European civilization: - The Battle of Marathon (490 BC) which saw the ancient Greeks defeat an invasion from the mixed-race Persian Empire; - The Battle of Gaugamela (331 BC) which saw the Macedonians under Alexander finally defeat the Persians; -The Battle of Chalons (AD 451) where the Roman general, Aëtius, with his Gothic allies, defeated the Hunnish invasion of Europe; and - The Battle of Tours (AD 732) where the Franks under Charles Martel defeated the Muslim Moorish invasion of Western Europe. Never afraid to point out the racial and subracial undertones to many of the great battles, the following quote serves as an example of how the author discussed the Battle of Tours: "The great victory won by Charles Martel over the Saracens, A.D. 732, which gave a decisive check to the career of Arab conquest in Western Europe, rescued Christendom from Islam, preserved the relics of ancient and the germs of modern civilization, and re-established the old superiority of the Indo-European over the Semitic family of mankind." The other battles were all history changing in that they affected the direction of European civilization and which nation would dominate history. Although the author was a devoted English nationalist, he recognized the role which the United States of America would play in world events, and listed the Battle of Saratoga (AD 1777, the turning point in the American Revolution in favor of the rebels) as one of the fifteen great battles. The other battles named as history changing in this volume are: -The Battle of Syracuse (413 BC) which placed Rome at the forefront of civilization; -The Battle of the Metaurus (207 BC) which decided the conflict between Carthage and Rome; -The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest (AD 9) which halted the Roman conquest of Germany; -The Battle of Hastings (AD 1066) which determined that relations with France, and not Scandinavia, would dominate British history; -The Siege of Orleans (AD 1429) which ensured that the English were expelled from France; -The defeat of the Spanish Armada (AD 1588) which prevented the re-Catholicization of Britain; -The Battle of Blenheim (AD 1704) which halted French Royal territorial ambition in Europe; -The Battle of Pultowa (AD 1709) which halted the Scandinavian influence in Russia; -The Battle of Valmy (AD 1792) which emboldened France to declare a Republic and end the right of royalty to rule; and -The Battle of Waterloo (AD 1815) which ended Napoleon's attempts to create a new French empire. The author also pre-empts developments in twenty-first century Europe by predicting that Eastern Europe would come to be the fulcrum upon which European civilization stands or falls: "...while other races of mankind (our own, the Germanic, included) have exhausted their creative energies, and completed their allotted achievements, the Slavonic race has yet a great career to run: and, that the narrative of Slavonic ascendancy is the remaining page that will conclude the history of the world."
