Launched in 1959, Batsford's notable 'British Battles' series covers both specific engagements and entire campaigns from the Roman Conquest to WWII. Most of the authors were at the time recognised military or naval historians, others have since grown to be so. As befits a Batsford series, the volumes are linked by a combination of fine writing and prolific illustration. A wonderful and well-collected series.
