  From the Plains of Abraham in 1759 to the Falklands landings in 1982 the author takes the reader through the unique challenge presented by amphibious warfare where the battle cannot be waged offensively until terra firma is reached and often the defending forces can start with the advantage. Also included is the awesome Dardanelles offensive of 1915-16 and the American landings at Inchon in 1950. The armchair historian is taken to the battlezone in a wealth of accurately-retold, exciting scenarios which are the very stuff of military action.
