		Throughout military history, battles have often been determined by certain “geographic imperatives”—characteristics of the terrain that significantly affect the nature of the fighting.
		A book with short story coverage of historic battles needs two things: 1) a coverage of the battle with the applicable geography and it's effect on the combatants, and 2) a map or maps showing the terrain, troop location at battle initiation, movement through the combat phase and troop distribution at combat conclusion.
		The depth of the discussion varied from battle to battle, but was generally not too deep for some one looking at the geography of the battle and not the planning, logistics, course of the combat phase and the aftermath.
