Command Failure in War by Philip Langer
Why do military commanders, most of them usually quite capable, fail at crucial moments of their careers? Adopting a psycho-historical approach to understanding decision making in war, this book presents seven cases of military command failures, from Frederick the Great at Kunersdorf to Hitler's invasion of Russia.Robert Pois (1940-2004) was Professor of History at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Among his books are The Great War; National Socialism and the Religion of Nature; and Friedrich Meinecke and German Politics in the Twentieth Century.
