"Brilliant, hardhitting description of modern war on the U.S.
Army's premier training ground. A must-read tactical primer for
today's warrior."--John C. "Doc" Bahnsen, Brigadier General, USA
(Ret.) At the turn of the century a small, humorous book on tactics
was published. The Defense of Duffer's Drift quickly became a
bestseller and today is still widely read. The Defense of Hill 781
is a modem version of this classic--a tactical primer with ample
funpoking, but with serious lessons to be learned. 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. 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 Duffer's Drift 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.
