Dictionary of Battles: 1816-1976 (1977) By Peter Young
 
This is the first volume in a series that will eventually cover all the significant battles which have been fought on the land, sea, and in the air since ancient times. In this volume, the author takes us through battles, campaigns and sieges from 1816 to the present day. Since this was an era that marked the demise of such hallowed institutions as cavalry and naval supremacy and in addition instituted tank warfare and ariel bombardment, the innovative contributions which specific battles made to the advancement of military lore and technique are fully documented.
