London: Coronet Books. Near Fine. 1999. First Edition. Softcover. 0340728302 . Very nice condition, clean and unmarked, light corner wear/scuffing. B/w illus. 394 pages plus booklists. From the wooden horse at Troy to a dropped package of cigars at Antietam to a photograph snapped in Vietnam, world history has been shaped as much by chance and error as by courage and heroism. Military conflicts are often decided by a caprice of weather, coincidence, or incompetence - in short, by the unpredictable hinge factor. Durschmied takes us through history's major battles and, in a series of gripping narratives, recreates the events that defined their outcomes. Drawing from historical accounts and personal documents, Durschmied gives us a fascinating look at how the unexpected and the bizarre have dictated world events. (400noto) ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .

These men had died defending their homes and families, and they too deserved recognition....Concise, well-written, and respectful of Cheyenne and Lakota cultural practices, this book is an essential contribution to our understanding of how the Cheyennes and Lakotas waged the Battle of the Little Big Horn.
