Info: What fierce motivation drives warriors to commit themselves to a last against a more powerful and better-armed enemy? No one reason can explain why. Anger, fear, soldierly brotherhood, personal glory, and survival are all part of the picture. Acclaimed author Bryan Perrett of "last stand" fame looks at 13 more examples of persistence against incredible odds, taken from two centuries' worth of combat in Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. Some of these tales would make unbelievable fiction...but they're true, and the incredible detail provides fascinating insights into military strategy. Go with Emperor Napoleon's troops to Hougoumont to confront Wellington's men. Attend the bloody Civil War battle at Antietam, in which the Confederates suffered a crushing defeat. Ride on the Bozeman Trail with Captain Fetterman as he takes arms against the Cheyenne, and read about the slaughter of the "Lost Battalion" in the Argonne during World War I. Other battles include the 19th century fight at Jallalabad; "The Place of Stones" in Mefeking, South Africa; the Siege of Peking; Iwo Jima, during World War II; and Pork Chop Hill in Korea.
