Description

This volume tells the story of infantry in the 20th century and its impact on the major conflicts of our time. Its purpose is to provide the reader - whether infantryman or not - with insights on the role that infantry plays in the larger battle and how that has helped shape the world that we live in today. Aspects of the book include the treatment of technical issues in non-technical language, the use of German and French sources generally unavailable to the English-speaking reader, and the shattering of some long-cherished myths. Combat motivation and combat refusal, the role played by small units (such as the squad and fire team), the role of infantry in the Blitzkrieg, and many other issues are discussed and analysed.
