Cloth. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. The Taste of Battle. Few people today experience a live war situation; even professional soldiers can serve their career without going to war. Yet the question is often asked, what is it like? How do combantants cope with dangers unimaginable in civilian life? How does a battle look to the ordinary soldier who has no idea of the grand plan, neer sees the generals, but whose efforts at the front line may make the difference between defeat or victory? The author has created twelve fictional soldiers, al based on recorded accounts, and put them at the heart of action already familiar to many readers. None of the protagonists is ranked higher than company commander; some are professionals, some volunteers or conscripts, none especially heroic. The actions range from Mons in 1918, through the First and Second World Wars to Malaya in 1956, Vietnam in 1968 and Kuwait in 1991. In a unique mix of dialogue, reportage and objective historical analysis - 'faction' - Bryan Perrett brings the reality of war to the reader in a direct, no-holds barred, exciting narrative. This is a taste of battle as countless millions of ordinary soldiers have had to experience it. Illustrated. 255 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.). …

Mixing fact and fiction, an author of more than a doz en military books takes us into the heart of the action in Mons, the Somme, Norm andy, the Battle of the Bulge, Vietnam, and more, showing us real events through the eyes of imagined characters. Editorial Reviews Review As close as you can get to the reality of war. Three generations of front line soldiers recount the ir experiences --Army Journal Bryan Perrett is a good writer, most of his book I have read, however the one writing as encyclopedia are not a good as the book written from the military and Soldiers point of view, overall I will recommend m ost of his book for an informative and riveting historical reading --By Louis Tr ujillo The formula is pretty simple - insert a fictional soldier into a factual battle in one of 5 major conflicts of the twentieth century. Make the soldier h ave a family and friends and live, breathe, and get scared, in most cases withou t any understanding of the strategic implications of what he is doing or of the big picture he is a part of. The book reads well and a great effort is made to d escribe the social context and conditions prevailing at the time of each of the wars described. The wars covered are as follow: 4 x WWI, 4 x WWII, 1 x Malaya, 1 x Vietnam and 1 x Desert Storm. Each story is followed by a brief description o f the outcome of the engagement and of the sources relied on to create the story , which was important to me in giving the stories credibility, particularly the one in which an armored car sneaks up behind a Tiger I and destroys it using a 3.…
