À propos de cet audio

What are we willing to die for? Michael Walsh restores the dignity of lost concepts like honor, duty, sacrifice, and patriotism for our unheroic age.

What is heroism? What are its moral components - altruism, love, self-sacrifice? Why was it once celebrated, and now often dismissed as anachronistic? In this dramatic account of last stands in history - famous or otherwise - Walsh explores the stakes that led men at very different times and places to face overwhelming odds and certain death for the sake of family, home and country.

In Last Stands, Walsh writes about battles in which a small group faced overwhelming odds, and all too often died to the last man - battles like Thermopylae, the Ronceveaux Pass, the Alamo, the siege of Malta, Little Big Horn, Stalingrad, Rorke’s Drift, and the Warsaw Ghetto - explaining why they were fought, what their ultimate outcome was, and their afterlife in history, myth, and culture.

Overall I can’t recommend this book highly enough, particularly for men, but also for women who are interested in understanding the motivations of men at war. I have deducted one point under Performance as I heard a cat meow in several locations as well as one or two background noises. This phenomenal work of military history and scholarship deserves a professional recording free from such distractions. That being said, this is an outstanding work of military history and should be required reading or listening for every Western man, and for the men following in the tradition of Western Civilization. 5/5
