Media reviews

"Overall, it is a superb look at how the armed forces of the nations involved in WWII were similar and different. A book that I know you will find interesting and engrossing."- Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com (May 2008)


"This is an interesting book, and it covers a lot more than just the tactics used in assaults. The unit level examined is the platoon, justifiably so since most attacks were basically combinations of platoon assaults at levels from company upward... Period photographs are accompanied by sketch maps of typical assaults and by good colour plates of the main demolition materials and of typical attacks. Highly recommended." -John Prigent, Internet Modeler (April 2008)

"Profusely illustrated by Peter Dennis, in Osprey’s common style of excellence, this new book is a very interesting read, and, for those of us who have never been involved in a military attack on a fortified position, it gives a reasonable overview of what goes into the attack — far more that what Saving Private Ryan or the old John Wayne WWII films might imply. Pick up a copy today if you are interested in the details behind the scenes." -Scott Mingus, Charge! (March 2008)

New York: Osprey, 2008. First Edition. Soft Cover. Near Fine. 7x0x9. Dennis, Peter. First edition. Minor general wear. 2008 Soft Cover. 64 pp. Osprey's examination of assault tactics used by the infantry during World War II (1939-1945).

Continuing the series explaining World War II tactics, Gordon L Rottman (who became expert in these tactics during the Vietnam War) explains and illustrates the kit and techniques used in assaulting fortifications. He covers the differences in US, British, German, Soviet and Japanese approaches and experiences, concentrating on small units of foot soldiers with hand-carried equipment.

Their tactical deployment is analyzed and explained in… Read More
