Description

"The Crusades, Custer's Last Stand, the Charge of the Light Brigade, D-Day - we've all heard of these momentous events, but how much do we really know about them? History's Greatest Hits brings together, in one elegantly designed volume, the forty most famous events from our past. Author Joseph Cummins offers fascinating insights into the minds of the protagonists and why these incidents have gained a permanent place in our collective consciousness."
