a study of how battles were actually won

Bound in the only honest order — the order it happened. The space between entries is drawn to the years that actually passed, so the long silences of antiquity read as long, and the crowded modern century reads as crowded. Entries are admitted on the record, not the legend: real, based wins.
That crowding is a fact about records, not about war. The nearer a century stands, the more of it survived to be written down. So this book can tell you what is here and how it was won; it cannot tell you where more was fought.

Each chapter opens on its own page, and each entry opens where it stands — the whole record is here, it is simply no longer all on one sheet.
