Book review - "Last Stands"

Worthy account of some famous last stand battles in history, some well known (the Alamo, Rorke's Drift, Wake Island), others less so, to the general public at least (Imphal, Imijin, Teroiwa), mainly I'm guessing because movies haven't been made out of them. Good concise volume which does make the mistake of over doing descriptions of the batallions and positions and numbers while losing the human drama (this often happens in military books) - which is a shame since last stands of all others have more human drama than others and the bits we do glimpse is quite moving, eg. The chaplain who elected to stay with the men at Imijin, the attack on the hospital in Burma, the death of Bowie at the Alamo.
