Concise, well researched and objective; a great homeschool resource
This is a great read; sufficiently detailed to be worth the time spent, but not so bogged down in minutia that you find yourself wondering how long the chapter is going to go on and glancing ahead to see if it ends with a quiz. Particularly notable is the prose: flowing, easy to read, a comfortable narrative. You get a sense of the author relaxed in an easy chair, his audience gathered about, attentive ears regaled with true tales of valor, intrigue, and conquest. But you will find no glorification of war between these covers; rather a well-balanced rendering of man at his best within his worst.
โGreat Battlesโ is well researched, factual, and untainted with retroactive speculation and subjective parochialism that pervade some of todayโs โhistoricalโ accounts. In short, a valuable addition to any homeschool or military historianโs library; highly recommended.
