The Almost Complete History of the World: 75… di Joseph; Inglis Cummins, James; Stone, Barry
Each story a great summary of the event, including background/context. I enjoyed it.
A very congenial book detailing some of the more maverick strategies in global military history. The only downside is that Cummins is more storyteller than analyst and this renders the book's narrative a bit childish at times.
Kniha Otoč se a utíkej zachycuje a barvitě popisuje osudové, klíčové okamžiky, které rozhodly, jakým směrem se budou dějiny dále ubírat, a kdy důvtip, předvídavost a odvaha skvělých vojevůdců zvrátily průběh boje a to od obléhání starověkého Babylonu a Caesarových tažení v Galii až po americkou občanskou válku a druhou světovou válku

It leaves out the Greeks, and all of Asia before World War II, it covers mostly the events I learned in a western middle school but adds enough details that I've either forgotten being taught or actual new material, like how current historians dispute the motivations of the perpetrators of the Assassination of Julius Caesar
