Why is Agincourt one the best known and celebrated battles in history? What made it remarkable? Like many of the battles in the series, the legend of Agincourt has overshadowed the battle itself. One of the most famous speeches in Shakespeare's plays ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-yZNMWFqvM Saint Crispin's Day Speech]) is Henry V's speech inspiring his soldiers before Agincourt.

'''Simon Ball'''. ''[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0199682038/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0199682038&linkCode=as2&tag=dailyh0c-20&linkId=0e6d329a23d95f71a28ef1d6c7849355 Alamein]'' (Oxford Univesity Press, 2015)

The Battle of El Alamein was the most important battle of the North African conflict between German and Italy and the British Empire. The battle, which was in reality, a series of battles, has entered military legend and it is one of the best-known battles of WWII. The battle was involved some of the most famous generals of the war, including Bernard Montgomery and Erwin Rommel. Significantly, the battle was a turning point in the European theater.

'''Murray Pittock'''. ''[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0199664072/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0199664072&linkCode=as2&tag=dailyh0c-20&linkId=3903b44cacfa9b765fb2f62e4d9dd7ae Culloden]'' (Oxford Univesity Press, 2016)

The Battle of Culloden was the last battle fought on British soil by regular troops. The battle was short, brutal, one-sided and decisive. The British crushed the Jacobites and forced Bonnie Prince Charlie into exile in France. While the battle itself is of little note, the result of the battle was [[How Did the Battle of Culloden Change British and American History?|extremely consequential]] to Britain, Europe, and the North American colonies. Additionally, the Battle of Culloden and Jacobite uprising been romanticized. The books and television series Outlander center around the Jacobite uprising and the Battle of Culloden are just one example.

Pittock's book examines the battle and the brutal suppression of the Highland clans after the uprising ended. He seeks to correct the notion that battle was a dramatic clash, between Highlander and Lowlander, Celt and Saxon, Catholic and Protestant, the old and the new.

'''Jenny MacLeod'''. ''[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/019964487X/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=019964487X&linkCode=as2&tag=dailyh0c-20&linkId=32d16240b85978e34ec9de589f4b9df0 Gallipoli]'' (Oxford Univesity Press, 2015)

In ''Gallipoli'', historian Jenny Macleod discusses why the Allied plan failed, and of equal importance, how the Ottoman Army withstood the assault and emerged victorious. Although new evidence has not been unearthed, Macleod takes advantage of digitization in accessing sources and presents an insightful look into the Ottoman military. Further, this text intentionally forgoes referring to Ottoman soldiers as “Turks,” and celebrates the ethnic and religious diversity of the Ottoman military forces. Finally, going beyond the battle, the author focuses heavily on the national and cultural consequences of the battle in the aftermath of the Great War.
