520    In the grand tradition of Edward Creasy's classic Fifteen 
       Decisive Battles of the World, James Lacey and Williamson 
       Murray spotlight only those engagements that changed the 
       course of civilization. In gripping narrative accounts 
       they bring these conflicts and eras to vivid life, 
       detailing the cultural imperatives that led inexorably to 
       the battlefield, the experiences of the common soldiers 
       who fought and died, and the legendary commanders and 
       statesmen who matched wits, will, and nerve for the 
       highest possible stakes. From the great clashes of 
       antiquity to the high-tech wars of the twenty-first 
       century, here are the stories of the twenty most 
       consequential battles ever fought, including Marathon, 
       where Greece's 'greatest generation' repelled Persian 
       forces three times their numbers-and saved Western 
       civilization in its infancy. Adrianople, the death blow to
       a disintegrating Roman Empire Trafalgar, the epic naval 
       victory that cemented a century of British supremacy over 
       the globe. Saratoga, the first truly American victory, won
       by united colonial militias, which ensured the ultimate 
       triumph of the Revolution; Midway, the ferocious World War
       II sea battle that broke the back of the Japanese navy; 
       Dien Bien Phu, the climactic confrontation between French 
       imperial troops and Viet Minh rebels that led to American 
       intervention in Vietnam and marked the rise of a new era 
       of insurgent warfare; Operation Peach, the perilous 2003 
       mission to secure a vital bridge over the Euphrates River 
       that would open the way to Baghdad Historians and armchair
       generals will argue forever about which battles have had 
       the most direct impact on history. But there can be no 
       doubt that these twenty are among those that set mankind 
       on new trajectories. Each of these epochal campaigns is 
       examined in its full historical, strategic, and tactical 
       context-complete with edge-of-your-seat you-are-there 
       battle re-creations. With an eye for the small detail as 
       well as the bigger picture, Lacey and Murray identify the 
       elements that bind these battles together: the key 
       decisions, critical mistakes, and moments of crisis on 
       which the fates of entire civilizations depended. Some 
       battles merely leave a field littered with the bodies of 
       the fallen. Others transform the map of the entire world. 
       Moment of Battle is history written with the immediacy of 
       today's news, a magisterial tour d'horizon that refreshes 
       our understanding of those essential turning points where 
       the future was decided.
