In this small paperback, the thirteen chapters of various 'last stands' - from Waterloo on around the world - are a mine of very readable, succinct but dense information, as well as offering profound military insight with excellent analytical conclusion. An unusual compendium of things military for all enthusiasts, combining due admiration and respect for the ultimate sacrifice and gallantry with the necessary critical factor which hindsight and knowledge promotes.
