Best book giving an overview of the wars of history?

I have seen a couple of books and was curious if anyone has an opinion. Like a reference book or encyclopedia listing wars over time and possibly highlighting different major battles/conflicts. Any ideas?

I actually ordered that on the day I started this thread, and it arrived today. It’s exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

John Keegan (15 May 1934 – 2 August 2012) was an English military historian, lecturer, author and journalist. He wrote many published works on the nature of combat between prehistory and the 21st century, covering land, air, maritime, intelligence warfare and the psychology of battle.

Got it; thanks!
I am currently reading “Napoleon’s Library”. Are you familiar with it?
