Fifteen Decisive Battles
of the World

"While I was still a boy, I could see that history had some extremely valuable lessons to teach," said Harry. He read Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World and included it on the list of books which had most influenced his life. He added, "There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know."
