From the Battle of Megiddo in 1479 BC to the Wars of the Roses of the Middle Ages and the American Civil War of the 19th century. Some conflicts are not only turning points in war but in history itself.

It was, his subtitle tells us, an event that changed the world. He never really proves his case. A gold medalist of a writer - he is the author, among many other books, of First in His Class, a prescient and much-acclaimed biography of Bill Clinton - he has put together a silver medal of a study of a bronze medal of a topic. There’s no doubt, as Maraniss too regularly reminds us, that the Rome Olympics took place against the backdrop of momentous events. Cuba was falling into the Soviet orbit, and the Soviets had just shot down an American U-2 spy plane.
