“Last Stand! Famous Battles Against the Odds” by Bryan Perrett, Softcover

Custer’s Last Stands (The Little Big horn) wasn’t the only one! A “last stand” remains one of the most compelling wartime scenarios, where outnumbered warriors fight on, hoping to defy the odds and win the day. This best-selling collection gathers 13 examples heroic last stands in chronological orde. Alongside less well-known cases, appear some of the most important and unforgettable campaigns ever: Napoleon at Waterloo, the Alamo, Little Big Horn, Rorke’s Drift, and Arnhem Bridge. “Seat of the pants” fighting produces “edge of the seat” for armchair historians, military buffs, and anyone who relishes stories of amazing battlefield action.  General Custer at Little Big Horn, French Legionnaires against Santa Ana, the tragedy at the Alamo — they’re all here, with 10 other magnificent battles from history.
