The Decisive Battles Of Modern Time (1923) By F. E. Whitton
Broadly speaking, the term ‘decisive’ in this volume has been interpreted in the sense…that it could justly be reckoned among those few battles of which a contrary event would have essentially varied the drama of the world in all its subsequent scenes.” The battles selected are: Vicksburg, 4th July, 1863 Koniggratz, 3d July, 1866 Mars-La-Tour, 16th August, 1870 Tsushima, 27th May, 1905 The Marne, 6th-10th September, 1914.
Attempt to follow up Creasy's Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World published 1851.
