Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen
A minor incident can decide the outcome of a battle and change history, and this text examines these "hinges of battle" in many famous conflicts. There is no shortage of stories when it comes to battles. Some were decided by genius, but many more by a quirk of fate, when that fine balance which separates success from disaster lay in a minor decision or a trivial incident that tipped the scales. Battles have shaped the course of history and decided the fate of mankind.
