Samuel A. Southworth (ed). Examines decisive small-unit actions over the course of the past four centuries, illuminating examples of reckless bravery, horrific combat & dynamic leadership -- all cases where a courageous few chose to attack into enemy territory, accepting the risk of their own annihilation. In the essays by noted modern military historians, fascinating personalities are encountered at every turn such as: Francis Drake, John Paul Jones, Lawrence of Arabia, Gunter Prien, Koos de la Rey, George Custer, Orde Wingate, Otto Skorzeny, & Sgt. Durrant. Also provides a tour of combat that spans entire eras of technological & geopolitical progress. Illustrations.
