The origins of Western warfare lie in classical Greece on the battlefields of Marathon and Delion and in the strange terrible headon collision of Thebans and Spartans at Koroneia Instead of the ambush skirmish or single combat between heroes the Greeks of the classical age devised a ferocious brutal brief and very destructive form of combat that used armed men of all ages With this technique they invented the central act of Western warfarethe decisive infantry battle In this bold and original study Victor Davis Hanson presents a new interpretation of Greek warfare and what took place on the battlefield He argues that the same concept that shaped democracyan unequivocal instant resolution to disputealso spawned the horrific nature of hoplite phalanx battles and that Western culture may have learned the wrong lessons from them The Western Way of War draws from an extraordinary range of sourcesGreek poetry drama and vase painting as well as historical recordsto fashion the first dramatic narrative of the actual mechanics of classical Greek warfare Approaching his subject from the vantage point of the infantryman Hanson explores everything from the brutal spearthrusting and shieldpushing in the phalanx and the difficulty of fighting in bronze armor to the mass panic and hysteria He describes the physical condition and age of the men and their commanders their weapons their capabilities their spirit and morale and their wounds and covers the social and political aspects of the soldiers experience revealing how profoundly the simple brief and brutal misery of infantry battle defined a mans entire relationship with his family his community and his country Hansons compelling account of what happened on the killing fields of the ancient Greeks raises new issues and questions old assumptions about the raison dêtre for war

Historians have portrayed British participation in World War I as a series of tragic debacles with lines of men mown down by machine guns with untried new military technology and incompetent generals who threw their troops into improvised and unsuccessful attacks In this book a renowned military historian studies the evolution of British infantry tactics during the war and challenges this interpretation showing that while the British armys plans and technologies failed persistently during the improvised first half of the war the army gradually improved its technique technology and eventually its selfassurance By the time of its successful sustained offensive in the fall of 1918 says Paddy Griffith the British army was demonstrating a battlefield skill and mobility that would rarely be surpassed even during World War IIEvaluating the great gap that exists between theory and practice between textbook and bulletswept mudfield Griffith argues that many battles were carefully planned to exploit advanced tactics and to avoid casualties but that breakthrough was simply impossible under the conditions of the time According to Griffith the British were already masters of storm troop tactics by the end of 1916 and in several important respects were further ahead than the Germans would be even in 1918 In fields such as the timing and orchestration of allarms assaults predicted artillery fire Commandostyle trench raiding the use of light machine guns or the barrage fire of heavy machine guns the British led the world Although British generals were not military geniuses says Griffith they should at least be credited for effectively inventing much of the twentiethcenturys art of war

One of the most profound events in sixteenthcentury North America was a ferocious battle between the Spanish army of Hernando de Soto and a larger force of Indian warriors under the leadership of a feared chieftain named Tascalusa The site of this battle was a small fortified border town within an Indian province known as Mabila Although the Indians were defeated the battle was a decisive blow to Spanish plans for the conquest and settlement of what is now the southeastern United States For in that battle De Sotos army lost its baggage including all proofs of the richness of the landproofs that would be necessary to attract future colonists Facing such a severe setback De Soto led his army once more into the interior of the continent where he was not to survive The ragtag remnants of his oncemighty expedition limped into Mexico some three years later thankful to be alive The clear message of their ordeal was that this new land then known as La Florida could not be easily subjugatednbspBut where exactly did this decisive battle of Mabila take place The accounts left by the Spanish chroniclers provide clues but they are vague so lacking in corroboration that without additional supporting evidence it is impossible to trace De Sotos trail on a modern map with any degree of certainty Within this volume 17 scholarsspecialists in history folklore geography geology and archaeologyprovide a new and encouragingly fresh perspective on the current status of the search for Mabila Although there is a widespread consensus that the event took place in the southern part of what is now Alabama the truth is that to this day nobody knows where Mabila isneither the contributors to this volume nor any of the historians and archaeologists amateur and professional who have long sought it One can rightfully say that the lost battle site of Mabila is the predominant historical mystery of the Deep Southnbsp

GB Mallesons The Decisive Battles of India From 1746 to 1849 is a comprehensive history of a critical period of history when the British controlled India as a colonial possession and the fighting against domestic and foreign opponents in their efforts to maintain the colony From the preface This volume contains the story of the conquest of the several races of India by our countrymen To this purpose are devoted eleven out of the twelve chapters of which it is composed The remaining chapter the first in order in the book is the key to all others for it records an event but for the occurrence of which the battles which follow might have been indefinitely postponed It was the victory of Paradis on the Adyar over the army of the native ruler of the Karnatak which inverted the position of the Europeans on the eastern coast and the children of the soil The battles which illustrate the story were all in the truest sense of the term decisive battles It cannot be denied that some of them showed a small list of casualties and in many the numbers on one side at all events were few If I may judge from some criticisms which have appeared this fact alone would be held to be sufficient to remove those battles from the category I claim for them There are some critics who judge of the importance of a battle solely by the amount of the slaughter produced on both sides
