Brassey's Dictionary of Battles covers over 7,000 battles from around the world and through 3,500 years of history. Military historian John Laffin give a concise account of what happened at each battle: the armies involved, the reasons for fighting, the number of casualties, and the historical consequences. He describes conflicts as widespread in time and place as the Egyptian invasion at Megiddo in 1469 B.C., the Angolan Civil War in 1976, and the recent debacle in Chechenya. In addition, a great deal of attention is paid to the wars that have defined America.
