GaryOwen Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 It's a quick read. Seems to have been thrown together quickly. It's got some good stuff -- overviews on systems; interview with H.R. McMaster, who commanded E Trp 2/2 ACR during the battle of 73 Easting; et cetera.If you find it interesting, also see McDonough's Defense of Hill 781 and Bolger's Dragons at War. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemolitionMan Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Try to get hold of "Tanks of Tammuz" about the 6-Day War. Other good books are "Heights of Courage" (Yom Kippur War), "The Eyes of Orion" and "In the Eye of the Storm" (1991 Gulf War) plus the army field manuals about tank and cavalry operations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
