The book explores the psychological barriers that prevent soldiers from engaging in combat, revealing that a significant majority of American troops during World War II refrained from firing their weapons. Historian S. L. A. Marshall presents compelling evidence and analysis on the factors influencing soldier behavior, including fear, training, and the moral implications of killing. This examination sheds light on the complexities of warfare and the human psyche, challenging conventional perceptions of soldier conduct in battle.
