Another excellent effort by STERLING PUBLISHING COMPANY.

THE BATTLE BOOK: Crucial Conflicts in History from 1469 BC to the Present ($19.95 paperback) is a 352-page book by Bryan Perrett (from the Arms & Armour series) deals with overviews of over 500 major land battles encompassing more than 3,000 years. Each battle offers information as to the date, location, war & campaign, object of the conflict, opposing sides, actual focuses engaged, and casualties. If you'll excuse my frankness, this is a great "bathroom book" - fascinating to look through!
