Why do competent armies fail? What made the 1915 British-led
invasion of Gallipoli one of the bloodiest catastrophes of the
First World War? How did a dozen German U-Boats manage to humiliate
the U.S. navy for nine months in 1942, sinking an average of
650,000 tons of shipping monthly? Why was the sophisticated Israeli
intelligence service so thoroughly surprised by the onslaught of
combined Arab armies during the Yom Kippur War of 1973? MILITARY
MISFORTUNES, written by the prominent American strategic analyst,
Eliot Cohen and British historian John Gooch, has become the
classic, standard answer to these recurring conundrums. Cohen and
Gooch's theory of defeat combines gripping battlefield narratives
with an innovative look at the hidden factors that undermine armies
and lead otherwise well-equipped nations to stunning defeat. It is
a must read for anyone who hopes to avoid the same fate.
