LRPs were all volunteers. They were in the spine-tingling, brain-twisting, nerve-wracking business of Long Range Patrolling. They varied in age from 18 to 30. These men operated in precision movements, like walking through a jungle quietly and being able to tell whether a man or an animal is moving through the brush without seeing the cause of movement. They could sit in an ambush for hours without moving a muscle except to ease the safety off the automatic weapon in their hand at the first sign of trouble. These men were good because they had to be to survive.

English | October 31, 2023 | ASIN: B0CL7RDRMF | M4B@128 kbps | 14h 21m | 782 MB
Author: Peter Hart | Narrator: Nigel Patterson
The only way to truly understand what it was like to fight in the Second World War is to listen to the experiences of those men who were there. And often, there was nowhere more dangerous than on the ground.
In Footsloggers, Peter Hart reconstructs one infantry battalion’s war in staggering detail. Based on his interviews with members of the 16th Durham Light Infantry, Hart bears witness not only to their comradeship, suffering, dreadful losses, and individual tragedies, but also their courage and self-sacrifice as they fought their way across North Africa, Italy, and Greece. This is a human look at the inhuman nature of war from the author of At Close Range and Burning Steel.

Free Download Andrew Wiest, M. K. Barbier – Infantry Warfare (Strategy and Tactics)
Brown Books | 2002 | ISBN: 1897884915 | English | 184 pages | PDF | 163.46 MB
This book is subtitled "The Theory and Practice of Infantry Combat in the 20th Century" but this is not what the book is about at all. It is a reasonably well done, glossy history, cliff notes review of conflicts with little or no insight into infantry tactics, who developed them, or how they evolved. For casual readers looking for a historical overview, this will be adequate, but it will be a huge disappointment to anyone who is interested in a book with this title.
