Hinges of History
Ten crucial events that shaped the world we know today 1: The. Battle of Marathon from The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World by Sir Edward Creasy arranged by Howard Jones
Reader, DENYS HAWTHORNE
The ' Hinges of History ' range over twenty-five centuries, from the Battle of Marathon in 490 B.C. to the Battle of Britain-a fight for freedom in which some listeners may themselves have taken part and will still remember. In the words of historians from Gibbon to Sir Edward Creasy the series tells of the Sack of Rome, of Genghis Khan , the Siege of Malta, the Armada. It includes the battle of Saratoga-turning-point in the war that produced America-the battle of the Nile, Waterloo, and the assassination at Sarajevo-flashpoint for the First World War. History's punctuation is the clash of arms. For the next ten Fridays Story Time will be bringing you the battles that mattered and the men who fought them.
