Battles Of The Nineteenth Century Vol. I-VII (c.1897- 1907) By Archibald Forbes
 
A concise seven-volume book set with great illustrations depicting in detail the British Empire and its height just before the outbreak of the First World War.
 
Each conflict in the Nineteenth Century is studied in depth. 
 
Here we shall follow the fortunes of the Great Napoleon, now of Napoleon “the Little”, now of Wellington, now of Roberts and Wolseley, now of Moltke, Skobeleff, MacMahon, Sherman and Garibaldi. At one moment we shall be listening to the thunder of a broadside from the “Victory”, at the next to the bombardment of Alexandria. We shall pass from the shots and shells of civilised warfare to the assegais and spears of the Zulu, the hatchets of the Maori, the knives of the Soudanese.
