About This Item

Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. No foxing in this copy. Dust Jacket is in as new condition, apart from normal shop shelf wear - contains no tears or chips or other damage. Dust Jacket un-clipped. All edges clean, neat and free of foxing. All my books are available and are shipped from our Australian address.. This exciting and fascinating book offers an insight into battlefield strategy and the natural drama of people and combat. What drives a soldier to commit himself to a last stand against an enemy which outnumbers him, has greater firepower and boasts other tactical advantages? Loyalty, revenge, fear, personal glory or the sheer desire for self survival. Such commitment can destroy intended military tactics, annual a well laid battle plan or render ineffective the most rabid armed force. Although it didn't occur very often, it did happen. If the events described in this book were fictional they would be decried as unbelievable...but they happened! Quantity Available: 1. Category: Military & Warfare; History. ISBN: 186019947x.
