Title: An easy 'n' breezy 'action' book
Product review: This book is out as part of the Cassell Military Paperbacks series in it the author aims to provide tales of good old fashioned derring-do. The title pretty much sets you up to know what you are getting. Effectively each chapter of this book tells an abbreviated version of some heroic action where a usually outnumbered group of soldiers fend off or sometimes even defeat far larger forces through luck, skill and grim determination.Taken for what it is this is a great book for a casual read in between more serious tomes. It also may inform your choice of what serious book to read next as a number of these actions are discussed more fully in other works to which the author openly refers to.Battles covered vary from Waterloo to Antietam, Mafeking to the Boxer Rebellion, the Lost Battalions saga of WW1 fame to Pork Chop Hill in Korea. So you'll get a bit of variety if nothing else.Recommended.
