The author, a renowned historian, takes us on a fascinating journey through time to visit battlefields in Britain, northern France and Belgium, vividly recreating the atmosphere of their bloody and turbulent history.

Dates such as 1066 and battle names such as Waterloo and Dunkirk may strike a chord of familiar nostalgia, but the details of the historic events associated with them often remain vague or forgotten.

From medieval Britain to the end of the Second World War, 12 battles including Hastings, Agincourt, Bosworth and the Somme were chosen by the author for their historical and political importance, representing such major wars as the Wars of the Roses, the English Civil War, the Napleonic Wars and First and Second World Wars.

Many of these battles have created their own enduring mythology as a result of their far-reaching consequences, and many of those decisive campaigns have battlefields that remain striking to this day.

With his expert knowledge of weapons and warfare, and using specially commissioned maps, the author provides a clear picture of the events that led up to each battle, the conflicts themselves, and the people who fought them.

Using practical ‘views of the field’, he travels the battlefields as they exist today, pointing out their places of interest, paying tribute to those who fought there, and bringing history to life.
