A remarkable compendium of the worst military decisions and the men who made them
The annals of history are littered with horribly bad military leaders. These combat incompetents found amazing ways to ensure their army's defeat. Whether it was a lack of proper planning, miscalculation, ego, bad luck, or just plain stupidity, certain wartime stratagems should never have left the drawing board. Written with wit, intelligence, and eminent readability, How to Lose a Battle pays dubious homage to these momentous and bloody blunders, including:
How to Lose a Battle includes more than thirty-five chapters worth of astonishing (and avoidable) disasters, both infamous and obscure — a treasure trove of trivia, history, and jaw-dropping facts about the most costly military missteps ever taken.

How to Lose a Battle
A worthwhile read. The author (actually the editor and author of some, but not all, of the content) has done a good job of describing a dismal series of, as the subtitle says, foolish plans and great military blunders. He omitted some I'd have covered, but over the millennia there have just been so many - to even come close to analyzing them all would take an encyclopedia instead of one book. I also appreciated the fact that the authors debunked a number of myths about some of these events. The tone was often too breezy for my taste in a book about events that caused so many deaths, but as an old grunt I identify with the poor bastards who were unlucky enough to get stuck with these stupid and/or irresponsible leaders.
