Heroism in battle has been celebrated throughout history, yet
it is one of the least understood virtues. What makes some men and
women perform extraordinary deeds on the battlefield? What makes
them risk their lives in the pursuit of victory?Max Hastings, one
of our foremost military historians, has seen combat up close and
written about it for decades. In Warriors, he brings us the
experiences of fourteen soldiers who fought in the wars of the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From an exuberant cavalry
officer in Napoleon’s army to an abused orphan who in World War II
became America’s youngest general since Custer, to an Israeli
officer who recovered from a devastating injury to save his
country, each portrait depicts a unique and remarkable story. A
tribute to soldierly valor and a deeply insightful study of combat,
this is an essential book for anyone who wishes to understand what
it means to be at war.
