*The Illustrated Face of Battle* is military history straight from the battlefield: a look at the direct experience of individuals at "the point of maximum danger." Without the myth-making elements of rhetoric and xenophobia, breaking away from the stylized format of batttle descriptions, John Keegan has written the definitive model for three famous battles: Agincourt, Waterloo, and the Somme. He succeeds, too, in conveying the reality for the participants, whether facing the arrow cloud of Agincourt or the steel rain of the Somme.

This magnificent illustrated edition contains a new introduction by the author and is superbly designed and produced. The illustrations include paintings, prints, engravings,, photographs, and battle plans. They have been carefully selected not just to illustrated the text but also to form a fascinating reappraisal of the visual images of battle showing how these have changed and been manipulated over the centuries.

*The Face of Battle* is military history from the battlefield: a look at the direct experience of individuals at 'the point of maximum danger'. It examines the physical conditions of fighting, the particular emotions and behaviour generated by battle, as well as the motives that impel soldiers to stand and fight rather than run away. And in his scrupulous reassessment of three battles, John Keegan vividly conveys their reality for the participants, whether facing the arrow cloud of Agincourt, the levelled muskets of Waterloo or the steel rain of the Somme.
