The author covers a selection of classic armed coup de main where small but powerful forces have been tasked with getting to, seizing and holding until relieved important local and strategic objectives. These sudden and swiftly organized and executed moves can either come from the initiative of troops on the battlefield in the heat of battle, or via prior recognition of a forthcoming opportunity. Topics include Balkin mountain action in 1916, the assault on Belgium 1940, Beda Fomm, Meiktila in Burma, Remagen Bridge, Korea and Ia Drang in Vietnam. 0aBattles. 0aMilitary history, Modern. 7abattles.2aat 7aBattles.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00828915 7aMilitary history, Modern.2fast0(OCoLC)fst0102123904awar fiction.  ihas work:aSeize and hold (Text)1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGr6RjrprfhtKPrpH3yprm4https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork  2lcccBKn0  hNO HOLDINGS IN GHUCC - 11 OTHER HOLDINGS  c128d128  00102lcc40708REFaGAFCbGAFCcGENd2024-04-25l0oD431 .P39p2024-0110r2024-04-25 11:56:36tc.1w2024-04-25yBK
