Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a fascinating view of the most important battles as seen from the perspective of 1851... Since it was written over 160 years ago and should not be expected to reflect modern sensibilities.While many of us are at least aware of the battle of Marathon, the battle of Arbela and Metaurus are not nearly so well remembered today. Look back a century and a half to see what they thought, which were the most important conflicts, and how they saw them.Well worth spending a quiet evening in the company of Sir Edward Shepherd Creasy. His view is very Eurocentric, and his faith is a reflection of "Musclular Christianity", a concept popular at the time of this books creation. This was written in the heyday of the "New Imperialism" that saw European, American, and Asian expansion that went well into the the 20th century and culminated in World War II." -- From a published review.

This book was released on 2013-01-03 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a classic in the field of military history. Historical writers who can weave myth and symbolism in to their writing carry forward important ideas and concepts for the collective. This is precisely what Creasy has done in his book, organizing his material around the idea that war is productive of something. He influenced every writer of military history who followed. That in itself is enough to promote the book. "15 Decisive Battles" is an excellent introduction to general military history, a perspective often missing in college history courses. Creasy is a generalist but for that very reason, this a good book to start with. Written long ago, his book necessarily omits more recent military candidates, yet vividly captures 15 moments when history stood at a cusp (perhaps Marathon and Waterloo in particular).

Book excerpt: Decisive Battles The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World from Marathon to Waterloo By Sir Edward Creasy, M.A. It is an honourable characteristic of the Spirit of this Age, that projects of violence and warfare are regarded among civilized states with gradually increasing aversion. The Universal Peace Society certainly does not, and probably never will, enrol the majority of statesmen among its members. But even those who look upon the Appeal of Battle as occasionally unavoidable in international controversies, concur in thinking it a deplorable necessity, only to be resorted to when all peaceful modes of arrangement have been vainly tried; and when the law of self-defence justifies a State, like an individual, in using force to protect itself from imminent and serious injury. For a writer, therefore, of the present day to choose battles for his favourite topic, merely because they were battles, merely because so many myriads of troops were arrayed in them, and so many hundreds or thousands of human beings stabbed, hewed, or shot each other to death during them, would argue strange weakness or depravity of mind.
