{"product_id":"face-of-battle-1","title":"Face of Battle","description":"[This is the Audiobook CASSETTE Library Edition in vinyl case.]\n\n[Read by Robert Whitfield, aka Simon Vance]\n\nIn this major and wholly original contribution to military history, John Keegan reverses the usual convention of writing about war in terms of generals and nations in conflict, which tends to leave the common soldier as cipher. Instead, he focuses on what a set battle is like for the man in the thick of it--his fears, his wounds and their treatment, the mechanics of being taken prisoner, the nature of leadership at the most junior level, the role of compulsion in getting men to stand their ground, the intrusions of cruelty and compassion, the din and blood.\n\nSet battles, with their unities of time and place, may be a thing of the past, but this anatomy of what they were like for the men who fought them is an unforgettable mirror held up to human nature.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0880290838\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0880290838.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Keegan, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
