Macrohistory
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"For a writer, therefore, of the present day to choose battles for his favourite topic, merely because they were battles, merely because so many myriads of troops were arrayed in them, and so many hundreds or thousands of human beings stabbed, hewed, or shot each other to death during them, would argue strange weakness or depravity of mind."--The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World (1851) by Edward Shepherd Creasy |
