It's the drama, danger, tragedy, heroism, smoke, shouts, and shellfire of historic battles, captured in one large, lavish volume. Maps, artists' renditions of battlefields, historic photos, topographic diagrams, and vivid text combine in reconstructions of 17 military conflicts that changed the course of history. From the American Civil War, author Tim Newark describes First Bull Run (1861), Chickamauga (1863), and Vicksburg (1863). From World War I he presents Verdun (1916), and Vimy Ridge (1917). Among several major World War II battles he recounts are the Battle of Britain and London Blitz (1940), rightly called by Winston Churchill England's finest hour; Arnhem (1944), which inspired the film, A Bridge Too Far; and the Battle for Berlin (1945), which marked the end of the Nazi Third Reich. Momentous battles from the more distant past are also covered, including Constantinople (1453), the Turkish offensive that brought about the Byzantine Empire's collapse; and Culloden (1746), the last battle fought on British soil between the Scots and the English. Every combat description includes: Eyewitness accounts ... Historic photos and illustrations ... Battle maps indicating troop movements ... Diagrams showing terrain ... A map of each site and tour route as it is today. Both armchair history buffs and visitors to the battle sites will value this handsome volume's many features, its detailed descriptions, and its clear analyses of battle plans and operations. A directory at the back of the book lists battle museums and tour operations open to visitors. More than 300 full-color illustrations.

'Highlanders have long been among the most feared soldiers in the world and Tim Newark's book admirably tells their stirring tale. A great read!' - Bernard Cornwell. On the fields of Waterloo, the deserts of Sudan, the Plains of Abraham and the mountains of Dargai, the trenches of Flanders and the jungles of Burma - the great Highland regiments made their mark. The brave kilted troops with their pipes and drums were legendary, whether leading the charge into the thick of battle or standing fast, the last to leave or fall, fighting against the odds. Acclaimed historian Tim Newark tells the story of the Highlanders through the words of the soldiers themselves, from diaries, letters and journals uncovered from archives in Scotland and around the world. At the Battle of Quebec in 1759, only a few years after their defeat at Culloden, the 78th Highlanders faced down the French guns and turned the battle. At Waterloo, Highlanders memorably fought alongside the Scots Greys against Napoleon's feared Old Guard. In the Crimea, the thin red line stood firm against the charging Russian Hussars and saved the day at Balaclava. Yet the story is also one of betrayal. At Quebec, General Wolfe remarked that, despite the Highlanders' courage, it was 'no great mischief if they fall'. At Dunkirk in May 1940, the 51st Regiment was left to defend the SOE evacuation at St Valery; though following D-Day the Highlanders were at the forefront of the fighting through France. It is all history: over the last decade the historic regiments have been dismantled, despite widespread protest. Praise for "The Mafia at War": 'An engrossing history that reads like a thriller, "The Godfather" meets "Band of Brothers" - Andrew Roberts. 'An engrossing account that has the read-on factor of the finest thriller. James Holland Newark tells an extraordinary tale with pace and conviction, and impressively unravels what really happened from the pervasive myths' - "History Today".
