The British campaign in Norway in 1940 was an ignominious and
abject failure. It is perhaps best known as the fiasco which
directly led to the fall of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and
his replacement by Winston Churchill. But what were the reasons for
failure? Why did the decision makers, including Churchill, make
such poor decisions and exercise such bad judgement? What other
factors played a part? John Kiszely draws on his own experience of
working at all levels in the military to assess the campaign as a
whole, its context and evolution from strategic failures,
intelligence blunders and German air superiority to the performance
of the troops and the serious errors of judgement by those
responsible for the higher direction of the war. The result helps
us to understand not only the outcome of the Norwegian campaign but
also why more recent military campaigns have found success so
elusive.
