How to Lose WWII by Bill Fawcett
Introduces the catastrophic missteps in World War II, including: Poland's lack of preparation for the Nazi invasion; Germany's failure to take Britain out of the war at Dunkirk; Russia playing Goliath to Finland's David; allied forces getting trapped for four months on the beaches of Anzio; and, Germany wasting its costly development of jet power.
"Fawcett gathers 37 concise, analytical, finger-pointing accounts of these and other battles from ancient times to the late 1960sHe and contributors Brian Thomsen, William R. Forstchen, Douglas Niles and Edward E. Kramer readably and insightfully convey a wide knowledge of military history." -- Publishers Weekly "Informative and enjoyable...This book will appeal to both general readers and amateur military historians." -- Booklist "I recommend it to the armchair strategist and indeed to any student of military history over the ages." -- Esprit de Corp
