66 Stories of Battle Command

Abstract

Soldiers have always been good storytellers. The personal recollections of fellow soldiers are an important source of developing a feel for the art of battle command. The commander who shares his experiences, good and bad, encourages a climate of open exchange and honest appraisal.
