More Military Blunders by Geoffrey Regan

From ancient times military history has been marked as much by misjudgements and incompetence as by gallantry and glory. Such blunders have sometimes ended in tragedy, sometimes in farce - and sometimes they have ended in triumph, despite all the odds. In this fascinating and entertaining collection, author Geoffrey Regan not only recounts some of the staggering stories, but also highlights the kinds of difficulties that can lead to military disaster. His anecdotes encompass every aspect of warfare from friendly fire and amphibious operations to meddling politicians and lack of cooperation. Incorporating 50 fascinating illustrations, this entertaining and instructive book will appeal to the military buff and general reader alike.
