Description
The examples range from George Washington's rebuilding of the patriot army in the Revolutionary War to the defense of the Philippines in 1941-42, from Si´mon Boli´var's liberation of South America to Finland's defiance of the Soviet Union in the Winter War of 1939. The courage of the Devonshire Regiment at Bois des Buttes in France in 1918 shows what skillful and determined resistance can achieve, though--as in the defense of Stalingrad in 1943--isolated forces were often left with no option but to fight. The resolve that accompanies a last-ditch effort is demonstrated in the Israeli Defense of the Golan Heights in 1973. Two more recent examples-- the Battle of Debecka Pass in Iraq in 2003 and the battle of the Patrol Bases in Afghanistan, 2006-08--show that some themes from these extraordi-nary historic achievements are still played out in warfare today.
