-Si no puedes luchar, huye. Pero si no puedes huir, lucha-.

Género. Historia.

Lo que nos cuenta. Relato de trece situaciones bélicas muy diferentes entre sí, separadas en el tiempo y el espacio, con la incertidumbre de su resultado debido a las condiciones bajo las que se plantearon como denominador común, y en las que en comportamiento de los diferentes implicados tuvo mucho que ver con el desenlace.

This is the second book that I have read by this author. Very well described actions from Waterloo through to the Korean War. The author knows a great deal about his topic giving details not only of the actions but of individuals and regimental histories. Ideal for anyone interested in military history.

Muy entretenido. Las batallas peor descritas, las sucedidas desde la IGM.

[Frank Pellecchia · Rating 3 out of 5]

Thirteen historic military confrontations where very few fought against great odds and achieved success. From the Nepoleonic wars to Korea, true stories of leadership and courage.
