Description

Bryan Perrett (au). Few people today have any experience of real war; even regular soldiers can serve without ever experiencing first-hand the horror of battle. Yet our fascination with combat persists. What is it like? How does the ordinary soldier find the inner strength to go on? This narrative follows 12 fictional soldiers, volunteers, professionals & conscripts alike, through the landmark conflicts of the 20th cent. -- from Mons in 1918 to WW2, the jungles of Malaya & Vietnam, & the sands of Kuwait. These are stories of front-line action as seen through the eyes of the men whose actions & courage make the difference between defeat & victory. This is the real taste of battle, as courage, loyalty & duty are put to the ultimate test under the most terrible of circumstances. Ill.
