Seize and Hold: Master Strokes on the Battlefield (1994) By Bryan Perrett
 
SEIZE AND HOLD vividly demonstrates how military objectives can be seized by clever tactics and ruthless action.

From the First World War to Vietnam, this collection gives exciting, atmospheric descriptions of eleven twentieth-century battlefield triumphs.

Portraying military skills at their most daring and inventive, SEIZE AND HOLD is full of more drama and excitement than Hollywood could ever invent.
 
"Seize and hold" operations--or the capture of a bridge or castle in order to debilitate the enemy--have been vital ploys in warfare throughout history. Speed, surprise, and sufficient firepower are necessities to accomplish the task. From the bungled attempt by the Russians to destroy Japanese facilities in 1904 to the Ia Drang Valley Campaign in 1965, here are more than 60 years' worth of military attempts to seize the day--in World Wars One and Two, Korea, and Vietnam.
