Battle Leadership

Captain Von Schell's collection of lessons learned as a small unit infantry commander during World War I should be a part of every Marine's professional library. It is one of the finest works of it's type I have read and dompares favorably with Rommel's Infantry Attacks. His observations on combat learship and tactoca are timeless and are as pertinent today as they were in 1917. It should be required reading for all combat leaders, particularly those serving on the platoon, company and battalion level. ~ D.M. Twomey, Major General, U.S. Marine Corps
