About this audiobook
Thomas Benfield Harbottle's *Dictionary of Battles* is a concise yet wide-ranging reference work that surveys armed conflicts across world history, arranging them alphabetically for rapid consultation. Each entry identifies a battle's date, principal participants, location, and historical result, while often adding the political or strategic circumstances that give the engagement significance. Its clear, compressed prose reflects the Victorian and Edwardian tradition of the historical dictionary: factual, orderly, and designed to serve both the general reader and the student who requires an efficient chronological and geographical guide. Rather than presenting a continuous military narrative, Harbottle constructs a usable framework through which the larger patterns of warfare, state formation, imperial rivalry, and national memory can be traced.
This enriched edition has been carefully crafted to add value to your reading experience.
- Hand‐picked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance.
