Military conflicts have shaped the course of history, and this book takes a look at some of the most extraordinary battles and warriors of all time. Among the hundred or so tales, there’s “The Battle That Never Was” between two Celtic tribes that never were, and the incredibly ill-fated launch of the Russian warship Novgorod. Endlessly entertaining, this album of mad miscellany is a must for military buffs.
