On a summer morning in 1709, the Swedish army-exhausted, outnumbered, and low on powder-marched into a hail of Russian cannon fire outside the fortress of Poltava. Within hours, Charles XII's invincible war machine lay shattered, and the dream of a Baltic empire bled into the Ukrainian mud.This edition includes original tactical diagrams and phase-by-phase maps that show exactly how the formations moved and broke. Order-of-battle tables list every regiment on both sides, and each anecdote is sourced to the ancient and primary historians by name-not vague attributions. For readers of narrative military history who want the battle as it happened, with the evidence laid bare.
