Klappentext zu „Marsh, W: 365 Tales of War “
January 11th 1879: Zulu War breaks out; March 29th 1951: Julius and Ethel Rosenberg found guilty of passing atomic secrets to the Russians; May 5th 1821: Napoleon dies; August 8th 1588: English defeat the Spanish Armada; September 21st 490BC: Battle of Marathon - From famous battles to the deaths of generals, individual acts of heroism to epoch-defining events, military exploits, recent and ancient, have profoundly shaped the world we live in today. In 365 lucid entries, W.B. Marsh and Bruce Carrick bring together the most momentous days from the course of history. Starting with the Ancient Greeks, they present stories from over 2,000 years of military endeavour, bringing to life brilliant military tactics, the bravery of troops in battle, the treachery of those that betray their country, and the gripping mixture of victory and tragedy, pain and joy that makes war both awful and awe-inspiring. 365 Tales of War shows the incredibly far-reaching consequences that can be brought about by a single day. The perfect read for fans of military history everywhere.
