"Throughout the history of warfare, the last stand against overwhelming odds has interested the soldier, historian, student, and general reader alike. Hundreds of books, plays, films, and songs celebrate battles and sieges where outnumbered soldiers have stood fast against a vastly more powerful force. Most attention has been paid to actions where small groups of men made the cold-blooded decision to fight and die, even when escape or surrender was possible, for such decisions have a resonance and fascination which echoes through the ages".
