One of the finest case studies of modern infantry combat in any language.Dennis Showalter , author of Tannenburg: Clash of Empires "A gripping tale of American GIs facing combat under the worst imaginable conditions."Peter Mansoor , author of The GI Offensive in Europe: The Triumph of American Infantry Divisions, 19411945 "Convincingly challenges popular beliefs on motivation in battle. Professional soldiers simply cannot ignore the lessons of this provocative, benchmark study."Michael D. Doubler , author of Closing with the Enemy: How GIs Fought the War in Europe, 19441945 "One of the most original works on cohesion and small unit combat I've ever read.

As described... A+++ on shipping and price... C (and that's being generous) on time. If you have forever and a month of Sundays to wait around then by all means do so. The price was great and the seller communicated wonderfully and the item was packed well so it wasn't damaged during transit all A pluses in my book just took a little bit longer than I anticipated.
