Just about every war movie—famously, Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers—includes dramatic scenes of soldiers trying to attack an enemy pillbox or trench.

Gordon L. Rottman, who became expert in these tactics whilst serving in the Vietnam War, explains and illustrates the kit and techniques used in assaulting fortifications in World War II Infantry Assault Tactics. He covers the differences in British, American, German, Soviet, and Japanese approaches and experiences, concentrating on small units of foot soldiers with hand-carried equipment.

Their tactical deployment is analysed and explained in detail, with the support of colour artwork, maps, diagrams, and photographs.
