James Holland
In an age of conflict, history is our best guide. From the Battle of the Somme to the Battle of Okinawa, this brilliant debut book, from the team behind the online platform Battle Guide, will explore the key battles of the 20th century and look at the pivotal moments that came to define the modern world.
We join the team at Battle Guide - four leading academics in their fields - from the occupied banks of the Marne in Paris, to the Battle of Berlin at the conclusion of the Second World War. Throughout the experts investigate the build-up, context, key moments and strategies on both sides, culminating in a fascinating and unique look at the role of those key conflicts in shaping the 20th century.
