Welcome
Much of our history, for better or
worse, is
shaped by events
on the
battlefields of the world – be they on
land, sea or in the air.
In this special
edition from the makers of
History
Revealed
magazine, we examine
some of the
key battles in Britain’s past,
exploring
how the events unfolded, who the combatants
were, how they fought and
what weapons and
equipment they used.
We also put these events into context –
what
makes these battles so significant?
What were the
various factors that brought them about, and
what
were the consequences?
If you enjoy reading this bookazine, don’t forget
you can get
more battles,
adventures, characters,
pictures and stories from the past
every month in
History Revealed
magazine.
