48 b/w illustrations! From the author of Daring to Win

comes this tribute to those who died in combat--and to soldiers who stared sheer terror in the face and lived to tell their harrowing tales. Cross the Meuse in heavy rain with Colonel Patton and his troops, raked by German machine gun fire. Gasp at the audacity of the Channel Dash, the perilous World War II attempt by the British to cripple two German battleships docked in a French Harbor. Other encounters include the epic struggle at Calvary Hill and at Camp Nafakh. In all, 23 examples of wartime bravery. Trim size: 5 x 7 3/4.
