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 event","brand":"Hachette Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767288398167,"sku":"9780306805592","price":18.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780306805592.jpg?v=1758712798","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/fifteen-decisive-battles-of-the-world-9780306805592","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
