Seller's Description:
Good. [2], 386 pages. 10 pages of advertisements. Ink notation on second flyleaf. Top corner of second flyleaf torn off. Cover is worn and scuffed. Pages have darkened somewhat. Sir Edward Shepherd Creasy (12 September 1812-17 January 1878) was an English historian and jurist. In 1840, he began teaching history at the University of London and wrote a number of historical books including The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World (1851). Creasy was knighted in 1860, and spent the next decade and a half in Ceylon as Chief Justice of Ceylon (1860 to 1875). He then returned in poor health to England and died in London on 17 January 1878. The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World: from Marathon to Waterloo is a book written by Sir Edward Shepherd Creasy and published in 1851. This book tells the story of the fifteen military engagements, which, according to the author, had a significant impact on world history. The selection reflects the worldview of a 19th-century European with a classical education: fourteen of the battles took place in the arc of historically interconnected military theatres which stretched from Persia through the Mediterranean Basin to Europe, and one was fought by European powers and former colonies in North America.

The author, Creasy, writing after Waterloo combines great history with great philosophy using 15 historic battles to bring it all together for a great historical read. He includes an historical timeline in between each battle making it easier to place the next battle in the pageantry of history.
