Summary	Great battles mark history's turning points, occuring as they do where cultures and ideologies clash. While some battles have been won by the superior force, others have been won by a sheer dogged refusal to surrender in the face of overwhelming odds. All the great battles in this book are pivotal in history: if any one of them had gone the other way, the world would have been a very different place. And none of them-with the exception, perhaps, of Iwo Jima in Berlin-was a foregone conclusion.
