Man's evolutionary progress has been marked by his battles against his environment and his own wayward nature. The conquest of space has proved no exception. The second part of this book. Great Space Battles, records in detail the many struggles for survival which have taken place in the darkness surrounding the homeworlds of the Terran Federation. The greatest and most awesome of these were the Laguna Wars. But military supremacy was not the only objective for which men fought and died. The struggle of colonists against the hostile environments of distant worlds is also vividly recreated here, as is the Great Rebellion, when Earthman fought Earthman for control of the Federation itself. These and other adventures described in Great Space Battles record the stormy progress of the Federation as its influence extended deeper into the Galaxy, and serve as epitaphs for the men who paved the way to the stars.
