Strasbourg AD 357 : The victory that saved Gaul
A highly illustrated account of a decisive victory for the Romans under their Caesar Julian against the Alemanni and their leader Chnodomar. Civil war in the Western Roman Empire between AD 350–53 had left the frontiers weakly defended, and the major German confederations along the Rhine – the Franks and Alemanni – took advantage of the situation to cross the river, destroy the Roman fortifications along it and occupy parts of Roman Gaul. In 355, the Emperor Constantius appointed his 23-year-old cousin Julian as his Caesar in the provinces of Gaul with command of all troops in the region.Having recaptured the city of Cologne, Julian planned to trap the Alemanni in a pincer movement, but when the larger half of his army was forced into retreat, he was left facing a much larger German force outside the walls of the city of Strasbourg. This up-to-date study relates the events of this epic battle as the experience and training of the Roman forces prevailed in the face of overwhelming German numbers.

The Battle of Plassey 1757 : The Victory That Won an Empire
Britain was rapidly emerging as the most powerful European nation, a position France long believed to be her own.Yet with France still commanding the largest continental army, Britain saw its best opportunities for expansion lay in the East.Yet, as Britain's influence increased through its official trading arm, the East India Company, the ruler of Bengal, Nawab Siraj-ud-daulah, sought to drive the British out of the sub-continent and turned to France for help. The ensuing conflict saw intimate campaigns fought by captains and occasionally colonels and by small companies rather than big battalions.They were campaigns fought by individuals rather than anonymous masses; some were heroes, some were cowards and most of them were rogues on the make.The story is not only about Robert Clive, a clerk from Shropshire who became to all intents and purposes an emperor, but also about Eyre Coote an Irishman who fought with everyone he met, about Alexander Grant a Jacobite who first escaped from Culloden and then, Flashman-like was literally the last man into the last boat to escape Calcutta and the infamous Black Hole. The fighting culminated in Robert Clive's astonishing victory at Plassey where just 3,000 British and sepoy troops defeated Siraj-ud-Daulah's Franco-Bengali army of 18,000 in the space of only forty minutes.The victory at Plassey in 1757 established Britain as the dominant force in India, the whole of which gradually come under British control and became the most prized possession in its empire.Few battles in history have ever had such profound consequences.

Can all that glitters be gold?
The phrase "all that glitters is not gold" means that not everything that looks valuable or attractive is actually valuable or genuine. This is a cautionary reminder that appearances can be deceiving and that it's important to look beyond the surface to determine true worth. So, while some things that glitter may indeed be gold, not everything that glitters can be gold.
-
What are examples that not everything that glitters is gold?
One example of not everything that glitters is gold is when someone appears to be wealthy and successful on the outside, but is actually struggling with personal issues or unhappiness. Another example could be a product that looks high-quality and expensive, but is actually made of cheap materials and does not last long. Additionally, a person who seems charming and friendly at first glance may turn out to be deceitful or insincere. These examples illustrate the importance of looking beyond surface appearances to uncover the true nature of things.
