Dictionary Of Battles (1971) By Thomas Harbottle
 
 Dictionary of Battles, one of the most valuable reference books ever published, was originally compiled by Thomas Harbottle in 1904. In 1971 George Bruce completely revised and updated the work to take in twentieth-century military operations from the Boer Wars to Vietnam. Now, in this new edition, Mr Bruce has again updated the book, so that it covers the battles of the last decade including the `end' of the US-Vietnam war, Cambodia, the Arab-Israeli war, and the Sino-Vietnamese war. For the historian, the student, the amateur and the professional, Harbottle's Dictionary offers the key facts to all the major battles fought in the world. Each entry gives the date of the battle, the war during which it was fought, identifies the opposing sides and describes the outcome. In addition, Mr Bruce has carefully cross-referenced the Dictionary to indicate, where appropriate, other battles associated with each entry.
