For centuries of warfare—regardless of culture, creed, or country— there has always been one group of warriors continually in the thick of battle who often are the most unsung: the infantry.

Join us as John C. McManus discusses his book, GRUNTS: Inside the American Infantry Combat Experience, World War II Through Iraq, showing how instrumental "foot soldiers" are to victory. John C. McManus is an award-winning professor, author, and military historian. He is an associate professor of U.S. military history at Missouri University of Science and Technology and was recently named to the History News Network's prestigious list of Top Young Historians.
