The story of Charlie Squadron is something someone might one day
have drawn a picture story about for one of the many war comics
that proliferated in the 1970s/1980s. A fantastic account of a
climactic battle. * Books Monthly *
This book is a must read for anyone interested in modern armoured
warfare and anyone who is mechanised infantry (if we ever get a
wheeled IFV). And for all other commanders looking into
expeditionary operations where we don't hold the upper hand in
technology,firepower and air power...Excellent book,easy to
read,couldn't put it down. 5 stars. * Army Rumour Service *
This book is extremely well written and accessible. * Miniature
