		The men were ordered to encamp keeping their battle order; accompanied by a group of ‘Companions’, Alexander galloped in a circle round the battlefield, he saw the snares and stakes driven in the ground to hold up a cavalry charge and ground levelled for the charge of two hundred scythe chariots.

	100 Decisive Battles: From Ancient Times to the Present
		Unlike many similar books, "100 Decisive Battles" is unbiased in its account of the battles, and also gives equal coverage to battles in all parts of the world, including regions often given insufficient coverage by other sources, such as the Middle East and Central America.
		There are also small side sections on some of the battles that further explain interesting topics such as the military career of Belisarius or the life of Joan of Arc.
		The descriptions of the battles are only covered over a few pages but Davis is able to give you a good back story, a solid duration and the impact the battles had on the corse of history.

		Sometimes a battle, such as the one that raged along France's Marne River in 1918, involves hundreds of thousands of soldiers and costs many lives.
		Sometimes, as in the case of Tippecanoe, a battle involves only a few hundred fighters.
		Still, readers with an interest in military history will find this to be a handy reference and overview, and they'll enjoy second-guessing the author, nominating battles that didn't make his hundred while learning from the obscure, but nonetheless critical, ones that he does address.

	RHETORIC and STYLE
		But rhetoric, if attempted on a formal scale, would be summarily exploded as pure foppery, and trifling with time.
		Falstaff, on the field of battle, presenting his bottle of sack for a pistol, or Polonius with his quibbles, could not appear a more unseasonable plaisanteur than a rhetorician alighting from the clouds upon a public assembly in Great Britain, met for the dispatch of business.
		In spite, however, of the tendencies to this consummation, which have been long maturing, it is a fact, that, next after Rome, England is the country in which rhetoric prospered most— at a time when science was unborn as a popular interest, and the commercial activities of after-times were yet sleeping in their rudiments.
