Impasse (The Red Gambit Series)
“ “Hell yes! We’re going to war, Major. We’re goddamned going to war!”
Major Carter had already seen enough of what war had to offer, unlike his new Regimental commander, a recent arrival, sent to replace the one recently promoted to be Cheif of Staff for an infantry division just arrived in theatre..
Colonel Albert Mortimer James Jnr was a stereotypical pompous asshole, portraying himself as a ‘Southern gentlemen’, but who was, in reality, a man who existed without many of the redeemin...g features of those he so badly caricatured.
His Regiment had been banded together with some extra support elements, rebranded as Task Force James, and hastily sent to the support of the French Foreign Legion forces now floundering in the face of the increased Soviet military presence.

Carter, a student of American History, glibly reminded him of Custer’s fate, which reasonable observation earned him a fifteen minute tirade.MoreLess
