Fuller's The Decisive Battles of the Western World and Their Influence Upon History is a comprehensive military history spanning from 480 B. C. To 1944. Originally published in three volumes, it was later abridged into two volumes edited by John Terraine. The first volume covers the period from 480 B. C. To 1757, analysing key battles that Fuller deemed pivotal in shaping Western civilisation. Fuller's approach intertwines detailed military analysis with broader historical context, examining how each battle influenced the political, cultural, and social trajectories of the Western world. He delves into the strategies, tactics, and leadership decisions that led to victory or defeat, providing insights into the evolution of warfare and its impact on history. While Fuller's work is lauded for its depth and scholarly rigour, some readers have noted that his political views, particularly in the later volumes, may influence his interpretations. Nonetheless, the first volume remains a seminal work for those interested in military history and the factors that have shaped Western civilisation.. Good+ with no dust jacket .
