	Sir Edward Shepherd Creasy - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		SIR EDWARD SHEPHERD CREASY (1812-1878), English historian, was born at Bexley in Kent, and educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge.
		He became a fellow of King's College in 1834, and having been called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn three years later, was made assistant judge at the Westminster sessions court.
		Creasy's most popular work is his Fifteen decisive Battles of the World, which, first published in 1851, has passed through many editions.

	Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World: From Marathon to Waterloo
		Creasy published his book during the apogee of the British Empire, in the 1850s, when the country's rule over distant lands was both incredibly expansive after nearly a century of settling and warring, and seemingly secure 35 years after Napoleon's ignominious defeat in the fields of Waterloo.
		But Creasy makes not even a furtive attempt to hide his biases and inclinations, especially in regard to events perceived to be antecedent to the British Empire that he so lauds at every turn.
		Schooled in the Edward Gibbon type of history, the author twists facts and interpretation to glorify the Anglo-Saxon "race." While this can be taken with a grain of salt and used to generate a chuckle or two, its value as serious history is overrated.

		Quibbling aside, Creasy's conferring of "Decisive" status on his chosen 15 is now almost official, meaning that engagements such as Marathon, the Metaurus, Chalons and Poltava have a cachet that non-"Decisive" battles like Salamis, Issus, Adrianople and Lutzen do not.
		Edward Creasy's "Fifteen Decisive Battles" is a win-win for the reader, and should be required reading for military historians as well as students of Western Civ.
		Accordingly, Creasy selected fifteen battles that dicated the course of "civilization" as he saw it, which essentially was Western Europe.

		It was natural enough that the Scythians should adore, with peculiar devotion, the god of war; but as they were incapable of forming either an abstract idea or a corporeal representation, they worshipped their tutelar deity under the symbol of an iron cimeter.
		One of the shepherds of the Huns perceived, that a heifer, who was grazing, had wounded herself in the foot, and curiously followed the track of the blood, till he discovered, among the long grass, the point of an ancient sword, which he dug out of the ground and presented to Attila.
		But the extent of his empire affords the only remaining evidence of the number and importance of his victories; and the Scythian monarch, however ignorant of the value of science and philosophy, might perhaps lament that his illiterate subjects were destitute of the art which could perpetuate the memory of his exploits.

		He knew that the bulk of their troops no longer consisted of the hardy shepherds and mountaineers from Persia proper and Kurdistan, who won Cyrus' s battles; but that unwilling contingents from conquered nations now filled up the Persian muster-rolls, fighting more from compulsion than from any zeal in the cause of their masters.
		I think that the succeeding lines in Aristophanes, also already quoted, justify the description which I have given of the rear ranks of the Persians keeping up a fire of arrows over the heads of their comrades, as the Normans did at Hastings.
		The superstition has survived the change of creeds, and the shepherds of the neighborhood still believe that spectral warriors contend on the plain at midnight, and they say they have heard the shouts of the combatants and the neighing of the steeds.
