About this site

This site analyses decisive decisions — from ancient battles to modern rivalries — on two layers: the surface events, and the design of decision, organisation and information beneath them. The aim is not to ask who was great, but which premise was held by whom, and at which moment what gave way — and to turn that into a lesson transferable beyond the battlefield, to markets, negotiation and sport.

We do not lean on the victor's boast. We go as far as why the losing side acted rationally at the time and where its premise broke — the stance that turns a single day in the past into reusable knowledge.

This site is run independently by an individual. It is built mainly on publicly available secondary literature in history, military history, business strategy and game theory, with editing, structuring and image selection done in-house.

Each article cross-checks key figures and sequences against multiple secondary sources, and gives numbers as a source-based range rather than a single asserted value. Anecdotes or quotations not traceable to a primary source are hedged ("said to…") rather than asserted. Drafting uses writing assistance, but source cross-checking, range-setting and fact verification are the editorial responsibility.

When an error comes to light, we correct it promptly and record significant corrections. See the editorial policy for details.

Paintings, maps and portraits are, as a rule, used only when they are in the public domain or under a freely usable licence, with author, holding collection, licence and source credited on each image. If you believe there is a rights issue, please contact info@lb-product.com and we will review and respond.
