Book Description
The "Dictionary of Battles" was originally compiled by Thomas Benfield Harbottle around the turn of the century, and has been updated to include all twentieth-century military operations from the Boer Wars through Vietnam. It also includes the sieges, raids, and relatively minor actions of important wars, as these tactical moves often led to the main battles. Each entry provides this essential data: the war or campaign of which the battle was a part; the date it began; who commanded how many men on each side; the tactics and sometimes the weapons employed; who won; the casualties; and where it could be determined, the ultimate outcome. The entries have been cross-referenced to indicate other associated battles, where appropriate.

Book Description
Peter Martin recounts the patriotic fervor in the early American republic to produce a definitive national dictionary that would rival Samuel Johnson's 1755 Dictionary of the English Language. But what began as a cultural war of independence from Britain devolved into a battle among lexicographers, authors, scholars, and publishers, all vying for dictionary supremacy and shattering forever the dream of a unified American language.
