The Past Is Not Inevitable...
Getting over my first illness in a long time got me thinking about how much I loved the Alexander's Siege of Tyre video. In fact I was inspired to make a 100 part series looking at the 100 greatest battles in history. I'll take you above the fog of war and give you a perspective on these battles the comanders could only dream of getting while they were in the thick of it.
I'm not sure if I'll get through all hundred battles.
I don't have anything approaching a complete list of all the battles I want to cover.
I doubt any of these videos will be under ten minutes in length.
All I really do know is that I sincerely hope you enjoy this new series.
