Osprey introduces this 224-page hardcover book;

War has been a key feature of mankind’s existence, and battles have changed the course of world history. Some were decisive military victories; others altered the course of a hard-fought conflict; while some have had a longer-term impact through technological innovation, or their economic or political ramifications.

Illustrated throughout with 100 full-colour artworks, 100 Greatest Battles tells the story of the conflicts that changed history, from iconic encounters of the Ancient World such as Thermopylae and Cannae, through to the major clashes of the 20th century epitomized by Stalingrad and Khe Sanh.
