A must-read tactical primer for today’s warrior.”—John C. “Doc” Bahnsen, Brigadier General, USA (Ret.)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the turn of the century a small, humorous book on tactics was published. \u003ci\u003eThe Defense of \u003ci\u003eDuffer’s \u003c\/i\u003eDrift \u003c\/i\u003equickly became a bestseller and today is still widely read. \u003ci\u003eThe Defense of Hill 781\u003c\/i\u003e is a modem version of this classic—a tactical primer with ample funpoking, but with serious lessons to be learned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lt. Col. A. Tack Always Finds himself in the California high desert, alone, disheveled, confused. A guide soon appears to inform him of his situation: He has died and is now in Purgatory (his humility in the Army was somewhat lacking) where he must atone for past sins. Purgatory is, aptly, the U.S. Army’s National Training Center (NTC), and Lt. Col. Always may earn his way out by completing a successful mission. Through a series of six missions, the reader plans and fights with Lt. Col. Always, making the split-second decisions that determine victory or defeat, life or death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Through successive difficulties, some important lessons are burned into the commander’s brain—lessons about tactics, about people, about what it takes to fight a winning battle. Like \u003ci\u003eDuffer’s Drift\u003c\/i\u003e this book is a valuable resource for all military tacticians. For the armchair general, it is a fascinating look at how the members of a military unit work together in combat.","brand":"Presidio Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44215352164607,"sku":"9780891414759","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780891414759_s600x595.jpg?v=1775588577","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780891414759","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
