The Age Of Battles: the Quest for Decisive Warfare from Breitenfeld to Waterloo (1993) By Russell F. Weigley
 
A vivid recreation of the grand-scale battles of the 17th, 18th & early 19th Centuries.
 
An examination of battle from 1631 through the end of the Napoleonic Era. With heavy emphasis on Napoleon's battles, Weigley, the noted historian, looks at the military theory of winning a war through the winning of a decisive battle. By comparison Weigley believes a single decisive battle is not possible in modern warfare. The book received the Distinguished Book Award given by the American Military Institute.
