>Where he got that info?
I looked it up what Grossman writes at the section where he reflects on killing an enemy who turned his back.
Clausewitz and du Picq both expound at length on the fact that the vast majority of casualties in historical battles were inflicted upon the losing side during the pursuit that followed the victory.
So following the book's bibliography we/you could check Clausewitz's On War and Ardant du Picq's Battle Studies.
