Rather than present a potpourri of combat yarns. . . McDonough has focused a seasoned storytellers eye on the details, people, and incidents that best communicate a visceral feel of command under fire. . . . For the authors honesty and literary craftsmanship, Platoon Leader seems destined to be read for a long time by second lieutenants trying to prepare for the future, veterans trying to remember the past, and civilians trying to understand what the profession of arms is all about.-Army TimesFrom the Paperback edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67759289958688,"sku":"USED0891412352","price":144.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/718BvGiyW4L.jpg?v=1791952567","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-gb\/products\/platoon-leader-0891412352-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
