About this ebook
""Battles Forgotten"" unearths pivotal military clashes that history has largely overlooked, aiming to broaden our understanding of warfare and the rise and fall of civilizations. By piecing together fragmented accounts from ancient records and archaeological findings, the book challenges the completeness of mainstream military history. It argues that conventional narratives are skewed due to selective evidence survival and interpretation, revealing a more multifaceted picture of conflict's impact on societies. Consider, for example, how biases in ancient sources or the suppression of unfavorable outcomes can distort the past, influencing our present-day perception of military tactics and geopolitical strategies. The book explores the political and social factors behind the exclusion of these battles, offering detailed analyses of specific, previously overlooked conflicts. It reconstructs their contexts, participants, and consequences, drawing from newly translated texts and interdisciplinary research, including political science and cultural studies. This approach sheds light on overlooked lessons in military strategy and challenges accepted wisdom. The book progresses by first examining why these battles were forgotten, then reconstructing the battles themselves, and finally assessing their broader implications for understanding conflict.
