From the Jaws of Victory

s/t: A History of the Character, Causes & Consequences of Military Stupidity, from Crassus to Johnson & Westmoreland

This book continues the study of "the consequences of stupidity in high places" by examining the highly developed & hitherto unstudied tradition of military incompetence. With iconoclastic wit & great, if unconventional, erudition, Charles M. Fair elucidates the principles of military defeat through a highly entertaining series of portraits of its greatest practitioners.
