Each section opens with a brief scene-setter which states why the armies were there and what their objectives were. Next comes a description of the terrain, since this is crucial to the course of each battle. Lastly, an account of the actual battle is given. Easy-to-follow maps allow the visitor to see each hill and valley where key strategic conflicts were fought, and modern day photos -- often juxtaposed with period shots -- bring immediacy to the conflict.".
