Men against fire : the problem of battle command / by Marshall, S. L. A.(Samuel Lyman Atwood),1900-1977.(CARDINAL)142669;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 6-8) and index.Introduction / by Russell W. Glenn -- Authors note -- 1. The illusion of power -- 2. On future war -- 3. Man on the battlefield -- 4. Combat isolation -- 5. Ratio of fire -- 6. Fire as the curse -- 7. The multiples of information -- 8. The riddle of command -- 9. Tactical cohesion -- 10. Why men fight -- 11. The aggresive will -- 12. Men under fire -- 13. Footnote to history -- Notes to the introduction -- Index."S. L.A. "Slam" Marshall was a veteran of World War I and a combat historian during World War II. He startled the military and civilian world in 1947 by announcing that, in an average infantry company, no more than one in four soldiers actually fired their weapons while in contact with the enemy. His contention was based on interviews he conducted immediately after combat in both the European and Pacific theaters of World War II." "To remedy the gunfire imbalance he proposed changes to infantry training designed to ensure that American soldiers in future wars brought more fire upon the enemy. His studies during the Korean War showed that the ratio of fire had more than doubled since World War II."--Jacket.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-247) and index.Preface -- Introduction -- 1. Before the battle: June 26 to August 27, 1862 -- 2. Contact is regained: Thursday, August 28, 1862 -- 3. Day of battle: Friday, August 29, 1862 -- 4. Day of decision: Saturday, August 30, 1862 -- 5. The campaign continues: Sunday, August 31 to Tuesday, September 2, 1862 -- 6. Conclusions -- Appendix I. Battlefield guide to the critical decisions at Second Manassas -- Appendix II. Union order of battle -- Appendix III. Confederate order of battle -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index.Many consider the Battle of Chancellorsville to be Confederate General Robert E. Lee's greatest offensive operation. However, the Battle of Second Manassas may be even more significant. Lee's victory at Chancellorsville resulted in the status quo. His success at Second Manassas moved the center of the war in the east from Richmond to just outside Washington, DC, and set the stage for Lee's first incursion onto Northern soil. Decisions at Second Manassas introduces readers to critical decisions made by Confederate and Union commanders. Matt Spruill III and Matt Spruill IV examine the decisions that shaped the way the campaign and battle unfolded. Rather than offering a history of the Battle of Second Manassas, the Spruills focus on the critical decisions. This account is designed to present the reader with a coherent and manageable blueprint of the battle's development. Exploring and studying the critical decisions allows the reader to progress from an understanding of "what happened" to "why events happened" as they did. Complete with maps and a guided tour, Decisions at Second Manassas is an indispensable primer, and readers looking for a digestible introduction to the Battle of Second Manassas can tour this sacred ground--or read about it at their leisure--with key insights into the battle and a deeper understanding of the Civil War itself--back cover.
