On the Santa Fe Trail
The small unit infantry soldier is the backbone in any war as they are the ones that come in fighting contact with the enemy and must attack to acquire ground or defend a position. Everyone else is basically support. The high ranking officers plan strategy but seldon actually physically lead men into combat. Infantry Soldier is the story of the actual fighting men who took part in the Battle of the Buldge during World War II as told by a low ranking enlisted man who was there. Its a good, informative read about what life in a combat unit is like. This is a excellent counter to all the books aboout generals.
