review: Part history, part memoir, part opinion-piece, 18-Platoon is a relatively quick read that takes you through one subaltern's journey from being assigned to command a platoon of British infantry in Normandy (replacing it's previous leader after a vicious battle in which he was wounded) to the end of the war in Europe. His brash methods and thinking clash at first with those of his superiors, but under the guidance of his senior NCO's he becomes a trusted and effective platoon leader. That is part of the value of the book - his stories of leadership both in terms of dealing with his men, but also with his superiors in defense of his men. A few lines toward the end on what makes a good soldier are quite telling - and different from what one might expect, but with which it's hard to argue, coming from a proven combat leader.
