Description
A groundbreaking study of combat tactics, Men Against Fire: The Problem of Battle Command challenges conventional wisdom about military strategy. In this seminal work, S.L.A. Marshall presents his own research and findings from extensive interviews with soldiers who fought in both World War I and World War II. Marshall's startling assertion that only one in four infantrymen actually fired their weapons during combat has significant implications for the way we approach warfare. His proposed solutions to address this imbalance offer a thought-provoking examination of the nature of battle command and the training of soldiers. First published in 2000, Men Against Fire remains an important contribution to our understanding of military history and the human cost of conflict.
