Death Ground: Today's American Infantry in Battle Mass market paperbound - 2003
by Daniel P. Bolger
In his most important and timely work to date, soldier and historian Daniel P. Bolger explores every branch of the modern infantry--and the ways in which wars are won by ground troops.
First line
"All okay, jumpmaster."
From the jacket flap
"An informative and thought-provoking history of recent infantry operations with reasoned glimpses of its possible future."
-DR. SHAWN WHETSTONE "Military Heritage
"This is [Colonel Bolger's] most significant work to date, important both for students of the contemporary U.S. Army and for general readers- even those normally uninterested in military affairs. Bolger documents the infantry's change over the past sixty years from a mass force of citizen soldiers to a small body of elite professionals. He presents each currently existing type of infantry-paratroopers, air assault, mechanized, light, rangers, and marines. . . . In each case study, Bolger emphasizes the quality and preparation, making it quite clear that will without skill and motivation without competence are certain routes to disaster. . . . While praising today's infantry as the best the country has ever fielded, Bolger raises the prospect that the U.S. military, by emphasizing technology and economy, will leave the country with an elite infantry too small to sustain heavy losses and too specialized to be quickly replaced."-"Publishers Weekly
