The Dangerous World of Tommy Atkins by Patrick J Benham-Crosswell
The book is aimed at anyone with an interest in the military whether that is as a potential soldier, a relative of friend of a soldier or merely someone who wonders why wars seem not to turn out as politicians envisage. This book describes how land combat actually works. Focused on the individual soldier, Tommy Atkins, it explains the way in which terrain, weaponry, training and the enemy interact to produce a tactical outcome. The book is written engagingly and entertainingly for the non-military reader and it assumes no prior knowledge. Each chapter addresses a different aspect of soldiering, be it artillery, air support or engineering. The reader is also taken into battle alongside Tommy and sees the theory unfold in practice. It covers all types of war from high intensity armoured warfare to counter insurgency. The book contains over 50 diagrams.| SKU | Unavailable |
