How to Lose a Battle: Foolish Plans and Great Military Blunders by Bill Fawcett

How to Lose a Battle: Foolish Plans and Great Military Blunders edited by Bill Fawcett contains accounts of why battles were lost. I could go into a long-winded explanation but why bother. Spectacularly inaccurate giving the wrong year for the destruction of the Roman legions. And their are other mistakes. The only saving grace is the chapter on Gettysburg which was at least interesting and did give some points to ponder. Thought it would be at least funny it's not.

Don't waste your time not recommended!

Is available through Abebooks.
