One of the greatest classics of military history ever written, produced by an English historian who understood the significance of race in history. The author selected fifteen battles which he considered as history-changing. Each chapter provides a detailed account of the preceding events, a blow-by-blow account of the battle itself, and its immediate consequences for European and world history. Five of the battles selected were critical to the survival of European civilization: - The Battle of Marathon (490 BC) which saw the ancient Greeks defeat an invasion from the mixed-race Persian Empire; - The Battle of Gaugamela (331 BC) which saw the Macedonians under Alexander finally defeat the Persians; -The Battle of Chalons (AD 451) where the Roman general, Aëtius, with his Gothic allies, defeated the Hunnish invasion of Europe; and - The Battle of Tours (AD 732) where the Franks under Charles Martel defeated the Muslim Moorish invasion of Western Europe. Never afraid to point out the racial and subracial undertones to many of the great battles, the following quote serves as an example of how the author discussed the Battle of Tours: "The great victory won by Charles Martel over the Saracens, A.D. 732, which gave a decisive check to the career of Arab conquest in Western Europe, rescued Christendom from Islam, preserved the relics of ancient and the germs of modern civilization, and re-established the old superiority of the Indo-European over the Semitic family of mankind." The other battles were all history changing in that they affected the direction of European civilization and which nation would dominate history.

An informative look at the military conflicts that most altered the course of history and civilization, from ancient times to the modern world. Rather than celebrating warfare, 50 Battles That Changed the World looks at the clashes the author believes have had the most profound impact on world history. Ranked in order of their relevance to the modern world, these struggles range from the ancient past to the present day and span the globe many times over. Some of the battles in this book are familiar to us all—Bunker Hill, which prevented the American Revolution from being stillborn, and Marathon, which kept the world’s first democracy alive. Others may be less familiar—the naval battle at Diu (on the Indian Coast), which led to the ascendancy of Western Civilization and the discovery of America, and Yarmuk, which made possible the spread of Islam from Morocco to the Philippines. With remarkable accounts of both famous and lesser-known clashes, 50 Battles That Changed the World provides impressive insight into the battles that shaped civilization as we know it.

The names of history's most famous battles still ring in our ears today, their influence immediately understood by all. Marathon lent its name to the world's most famous race, but it also preserved Western civilization during the First Persian War. Saratoga, won by one of the colonists' most renowned war heroes before he became his nation's most vile traitor. Hastings ensured the Normans' success in England and changed the course of British history. Waterloo, which marked the reshaping of the European continent and Napoleon's doom, has now become part of the English lexicon. Given the magnitude and importance of these battles, it's no surprise that historians and readers still cover all of these battles today. In The 15 Decisive Battles of The World From Marathon to Waterloo, Sir Edward Creasy covers history's most famous battles one chapter at a time, including: THE BATTLE OF MARATHONDEFEAT OF THE ATHENIANS AT SYRACUSE, B.C. 413.THE BATTLE OF ARBELA, B.C. 331.THE BATTLE OF THE METAURUS, B.C. 207.VICTORY OF ARMINIUS OVER THE ROMAN LEGIONS UNDER VARUS, A.D. 9.THE BATTLE OF CHALONS, A.D. 451.THE BATTLE OF TOURS, A.D. 732.THE BATTLE OF HASTINGS, A.D. 1066.JOAN OF ARC'S VICTORY OVER THE ENGLISH AT ORLEANS, A.D. 1429.THE DEFEAT OF THE SPANISH ARMADA, A.D. 1588.THE BATTLE OF BLENHEIM, A.D. 1704.THE BATTLE OF PULTOWA, A.D. 1709.VICTORY OF THE AMERICANS OVER BURGOYNE AT SARATOGA, A.D. 1777.THE BATTLE OF VALMY.THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO, 1815.Creasy's book is indicative of 19th century European thinking; it includes explicit references to the deplorable barbarism and immorality of non-Europeans. In fact, the reason Creasy gives for the significance of many of the fifteen battles, is that they kept non-Europeans away from European soil.

This brand new edition contains the complete text, and has been completely reformatted and updated with 50 illustrations and maps. One of the greatest classics of military history ever written, produced by an English historian who understood the significance of race in history. The author selected fifteen battles which he considered as history-changing. Each chapter provides a detailed account of the preceding events, a blow-by-blow account of the battle itself, and its immediate consequences for European and world history. Five of the battles selected were critical to the survival of European civilization: - The Battle of Marathon (490 BC) which saw the ancient Greeks defeat an invasion from the mixed-race Persian Empire; - The Battle of Gaugamela (331 BC) which saw the Macedonians under Alexander finally defeat the Persians; -The Battle of Chalons (AD 451) where the Roman general, Aëtius, with his Gothic allies, defeated the Hunnish invasion of Europe; and - The Battle of Tours (AD 732) where the Franks under Charles Martel defeated the Muslim Moorish invasion of Western Europe. Never afraid to point out the racial and subracial undertones to many of the great battles, the following quote serves as an example of how the author discussed the Battle of Tours: "The great victory won by Charles Martel over the Saracens, A.D. 732, which gave a decisive check to the career of Arab conquest in Western Europe, rescued Christendom from Islam, preserved the relics of ancient and the germs of modern civilization, and re-established the old superiority of the Indo-European over the Semitic family of mankind." The other battles were all history changing in that they affected the direction of European civilization and which nation would dominate history. Although the author was a devoted English nationalist, he recognized the role which the United States of America would play in world events, and listed the Battle of Saratoga (AD 1777, the turning point in the American Revolution in favor of the rebels) as one of the fifteen great battles. The other battles named as history changing in this volume are: -The Battle of Syracuse (413 BC) which placed Rome at the forefront of civilization; -The Battle of the Metaurus (207 BC) which decided the conflict between Carthage and Rome; -The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest (AD 9) which halted the Roman conquest of Germany; -The Battle of Hastings (AD 1066) which determined that relations with France, and not Scandinavia, would dominate British history; -The Siege of Orleans (AD 1429) which ensured that the English were expelled from France; -The defeat of the Spanish Armada (AD 1588) which prevented the re-Catholicization of Britain; -The Battle of Blenheim (AD 1704) which halted French Royal territorial ambition in Europe; -The Battle of Pultowa (AD 1709) which halted the Scandinavian influence in Russia; -The Battle of Valmy (AD 1792) which emboldened France to declare a Republic and end the right of royalty to rule; and -The Battle of Waterloo (AD 1815) which ended Napoleon's attempts to create a new French empire. The author also pre-empts developments in twenty-first century Europe by predicting that Eastern Europe would come to be the fulcrum upon which European civilization stands or falls: "...while other races of mankind (our own, the Germanic, included) have exhausted their creative energies, and completed their allotted achievements, the Slavonic race has yet a great career to run: and, that the narrative of Slavonic ascendancy is the remaining page that will conclude the history of the world."
