What do the Alamo, Camerone, Iwo Jima or Bir-Hakeim have in common? The determination of the defenders, who unflinchingly confronted an opponent who was far superior in numbers and material. Encircled and harassed by the enemy, they knew that the outcome of the battle could only be unfavourable for them, and yet they put up fierce resistance. On the basis of 13 battles, the author demonstrates the value of this sacrifice.
The battles described in this book have in common that they have a very high symbolic value, which has made them immortal, even beyond pure military history.
