Great Book for Anyone Into Military History
Great book that is ideal for reference and any coffee table. Maps are easy to follow, and the book gives you a good linear explanation of all that happened in history's most important battles.

Great Product, Subpar Packaging
The book oneself looks so interesting. Got this to give as a gift. My concern is with the packaging done by Amazon. It arrived in a small box with no protection on the corners, so all the corners are either slightly torn or damaged in some way. Disappointed with Amazon, not the product.

Some of History's Greatest Battles, Map by Map.
From Rameses II vs the Hittites to the Invasion of Iraq in 2003, this book covers some of history's major battles. The Battle of Thermopylae, the Crusades, Waterloo, the American Revolution, Napoleonic Wars, World War I, a few battles from WW2 (there's a whole separate book in this series just for WW2), plus Korea, Vietnam, and the conflicts up until 2003 where the book ends, and that's just a few off the top of my head. Every map gives an excellent overview of each conflict and featured battle and a brief timeline of events. It's a large book in terms of height and width but not very thick (under 300 pages). But for the maps, this is understandable.

I believe most of the reviews already covered this fantastic book - an interesting view of past battles with lots of information I couldn't find on the internet. Highly recommended!
