In the Heat of Battle by Donough O'brien
Out of the last 3,500 years of our 'civilised' world, only for 230 have we been at peace. This title features those who by rising to the occasion on the battlefield or failing to do so turned the course of history. It presents the history of warfare, from Mark Anthony to Rommel and Stalin to Saddam Hussein.
"Out of two thousand years of the history of combat Donough O'Brien has plucked seventy five extraordinary episodes, some well known, others much less or not at allThey describe the good, the bad and the downright incompetent; the best and the worst; the bravest and most craven, and each story is a small gem. A 'must' for Christmas." Frederick Forsyth
