Richard Garrett

0/5 ( ratings)

CLASH OF ARMS STUDIES A COLLECTION OF MAJOR MILITARY ENGAGEMENTS OVER THE PAST NINE CENTURIES. IT CONSIDERS THE TYPE OF MEN WHO FOUGHT THEM, THE WEAPONS THEY USED, AND THE PLOYS OF THEIR COMMANDERS. HOW DID CROMWELL'S NEW MODEL ARMY OVERCOME THE ROYALIST TROOPS AT NASEBY IN 1645 YET STILL NOT END THE CIVIL WAR? HOW DID THE AMERICAN COLONISTS DEVELOP FROM A RABBLE INTO THE WELL DISCIPLINED FORCE WHICH WON THE BATTLE OF YORKTOWN IN 1781? IN 1812 NAPOLEON'S ARMY BEAT THE RUSSIANS AT BORODINO; YET WAS THIS VICTORY THE BEGINNING OF A CHAIN OF DISASTERS THAT ENDED AT WATERLOO? BY FIRST WORLD WAR STANDARDS, THE BATTLE OF CAMBRAI, FOUGHT IN 1917, WAS A MINOR AFFAIR; WAS IT NONETHELESS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT OF ALL THE LAND BATTLES BETWEEN 1914 AND 1918? THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE QUESTIONS ANSWERED IN THIS AUTHORITATIVE STUDY OF GREAT BATTLES THROUGH THE AGES. BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED WITH MANY CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS AND PHOTOGRAPHS, IT PROVIDES A FASCINATING INSIGHT INTO THE ETERNAL CONFLICT OF MAN AGAINST MAN.
