Welcome to Battlefield Anomalies!

This site is dedicated to all those of you out there who would like to learn a little more about military history. Although I do not profess to be the font of all knowledge when it comes to wars and conflicts, I do hope that the battles and campaigns, as well as the thumb nail sketches of great commanders will go some way to improving the present tarnished image that all things military seems to have acquired.

Battles shape history, and great commanders, like great poets and artists have their own place in the world of creativity- The Art of War. To all those who consider that war is a curse on humanity I can say only this, given the fact that I too share this view, over the millennia the human race has never found a viable solution to armed confrontation.

I hope you will enjoy the articles on this site and if you have any comments, please feel free to contact me with your ideas and criticisms; that is what it's all about!
