The Battles of the British Navy |
| |
Clash
of Steel review : The Victorian/Edwardian language and sentiments make this rewarding reading in themselves however the book also contains a wealth of detail of British navy engagements over a very wide range of time. If you can find a copy give it a try. |

The Battlefields of England |
| |
Clash
of Steel review : Originally published in 1950 and 1952 as two separate volumes, and can seem a little dated, it remains a classic on the major battles of England. More recent studies of the battles themselves may have revised Alfred Burne's conclusions, but they all pay hommage to his pathfinding. |

A Traveller's Guide to the Battlefields of Europe Vols 1 and 2 |
| |
Clash
of Steel review : Full of useful detail for the Battlefield enthusiast if beginning to look a little out-dated. It is also available in a single-volume, revised format and contains plenty of numerical information on forces engaged, casualties, actual location of the battlefields again although nearly 40 years out of date. A good place to start if wanting to visit the sites. |

| Creasy, Sir Edward |
Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World |
| |
Clash
of Steel review : A learned text originally published in 1851 with chapters on early classical battles like Marathon, Syracuse, and The Metaurus through Hastings and Orleans up to Blenheim, Valmy and Waterloo.
Definitely showing its age, written in high Victorian English but well worth the effort for the serious historian. |
