Conflicts that Changed the World

Conflict and warfare is perpetual in the world today. It has always been like that. The history of the human race is the history of conflict. Conquest and glory versus death and destruction. Who takes us to war and why? This book traces world history through the conflicts that changed the world. From the Battle of Megiddo in 1479 BC to the Wars of the Roses of the Middle Ages and the American Civil War of the 19th century. From World Wars I and II to the Iraq War and the ongoing war against terror. Some conflicts are not only turning points in war but in history itself.
