In this absorbing review of 28 battles the reader will gain fresh insights into a Britain racked by war, unrest and tyranny, centuries in which feudal might and political ambition were manifest in rampaging armies capable of fine military strategy alongside primitive brutality."--Jacket Starting in 1066 and spanning seven centuries, study how 28 key battles played a part in determining the course of history.
