Great Battles of the World is Stephen Crane’s last and most important work, he having completed it just previous to his death. Since his first book Mr. Crane had not until the end returned to the subject that made him famous. He alone among the authors of the day was fitted to describe adequately the Great Battles of the World. His picturesque enthusiasm and wonderful genius in describing the stirring battle scenes in the decisive conflicts made a new era in the writings of history. The Great Battles of the World are:
Vittoria
The Siege Of Plevna
The Storming Of Burkersdorf Heights
A Swede’s Campaign In Germany
The Storming Of Badajoz
The Brief Campaign Against New Orleans
The Battle Of Solferino
The Battle Of Bunker Hill
