Download or read book The Guinness Book of Decisive Battles written by Geoffrey Regan and published by Abbeville Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exciting and thought-provoking book, military historian Geoffrey Regan has selected fifty of the most decisive battles of world history. As the author explains, the decisiveness of these battles lies not only in the completeness of victory or defeat for either side, but also in the longer-term impact they have had on the course of history. The scope of the book is majestic. It starts with Salamis, where the Greeks put an end to Persian attempts to overwhelm their country. Other battles of the Ancient World include Zama, where Carthaginian power was finally crushed; Actium, which ushered in the Rome of the emperors; and Adrianople, which first demonstrated the potential of the mounted warrior to defeat the legions of Rome. Moving onto the Medieval World, famous battlessuch as Hastings and the fall of Constantinople - are set beside less well-known but equally crucial encounters such as Lechfeld and Ain Jalut. Then there are the great conflicts of the colonial age, from Plassey to Quebec, and battles such as Saratoga and Sedan that witnessed the birth of nations. From the present century, key engagements of the World Wars - including the Marne, Midway, El Alamein and Stalingrad - are featured, as are more recent conflicts whose reverberations are still very much with us - Dien Bien Phu, the Six Days War, and Operation Desert Storm. Geoffrey Regan not only examines the strategic context and long-term outcome of each battle, but also vividly brings to life the course of the fighting, the commanders and participants, and the significance of innovations in weaponry. Numerous maps help to explain tactics and strategy, while the many illustrations add a further dramatic dimension to this stimulating book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hitler, who was responsible for the execution of a million Jews, finally kills himself by pulling a pistol at his head, an ignoble death for a tyrannical leader. When Germany attacked Poland, it pushed the warring nations to another brutal war and thrust the world into a vortex of chaotic bloodshed. The Soviet changed sides, pledging allegiance first to Germany and then to the Allies. When Pearl Harbor is attacked, the United States of America is finally drawn into the war reopening the pacific theatre in all grandiose in the dramatic Battle of Atlantic. Japan’s island Okinawa becomes a bone of contention and Allied powers engage in leapfrogging to reach and invade mainland Japan, but they face stout defense. While Japan and Allies lock horns in the decisive Battle of Okinawa and Battle of Midway and D-Day finally seals victory for the Allied powers, Stalin and Hitler fight each other in the prestigious Battle of Stalingrad. Did Hitler award his country’s highest Medal of Honor to a British spy? What is the story of deception that Allied powers invent to ensnare Hitler? How did the Okinawans resist when their island was the battleground for two mighty powers? How did the once-magnificent Stalingrad city become a rubble-strewn city of ghosts? How did the serene beaches of Omaha earn the moniker ‘deadly Omaha’? Read this book that tells the story of commanders, soldiers, and civilians that resisted and fought the five deadliest battles of World War Two.
