The Story of Civilization, Elon Musk

The Co-founder of PayPal and formed SpaceX maker of launch vehicles and spacecraft Elon Musk has recently posted a tweet on his Twitter handle about the ongoing Russia Ukraine War that, “Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World.”

The post the book Musk is referring to is about the most famous work of military history of the nineteenth century, Edward S. Creasy’s, It is not only the authoritative account of each battle that makes and how Creasy’s work is classic- it is his command of narrative, his interest in human struggle, his profound deductions as to affect to the battles, and his strivinhn after truth. Furthermore, his selection seem as wise and well-considered today as when Fifteen Decisive Battles first appeared in 1851: Nobody since has made better ones, nor given us better accounts.

Out of 2300 years, Creasy only found fifteen battles which he called decisive in the highest sense. He chose them not for the number of killed and wounded, nor for their status in myth and lore, but because they fundamentally changed the course of world history. In doing so, he made his book a miniature military history of the western world, a classic that will repay continued study for generations to come, as it has for generations.
