The twentieth century witnessed the most violent conflicts in world history. Opening with the Battle of Tsushima in 1905 - the last sea-battle of the Russo-Japanese War - and closing with Operation Desert Storm, Total War narrates the conflicts that changed the course of modern history and shaped the 21st century. Each chapter reveals the historic context of the battle, its outcome and legacy. This is no dry recitation of facts but a gripping account of the bloodiest hundred years in human history.
