The Military's Strangest Campaigns and Characters: Extraordinary But True Tales from Military History

by Tom Quinn

Military conflicts have shaped the course of history, and this book takes a look at some of the most extraordinary battles and warriors of all time. Among the hundred or so tales, there’s “The Battle That Never Was” between two Celtic tribes that never were, and the incredibly ill-fated launch of the Russian warship Novgorod. Endlessly entertaining, this album of mad miscellany is a must for military buffs.

A book filled with strange and fascinating facts from military history, what's not to like?

Well, I leaved to the Civil war part of this book and soon discovered the couple of chapters there are utterly nonsense and rubbish. Quinn doesn't get a single fact straight.

So, lost is my appetite to read the remainder of this book.
