Close Quarter Combat: First-Hand Accounts of Real Combat Experiences

Close Quarter Combat is an anecdotal history of close-range fighting since 1900, and brings the fear, intensity, and raw courage of close quarter combat to life. Through first-hand accounts, discover what it was like to fight among the ruins of Stalingrad in World War II, with spades and axes on the Eastern Front, or at night, in tunnels in Vietnam, or in an ambush.

Featuring rarely seen photographs, the book includes accounts from British, American, German, and French servicemen and covers both World Wars, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, the Falklands campaign, and more.
