War brings out the very best and worst in people although, frankly,
its usually the latter. But for all our thousands of years of
practice at this most dangerous art there is precious little
evidence that we're either outgrowing it or getting any good at it.
It is an occupation filled with heroism, genius, hubris, idiocy and
blind panic all bought on at least in part by large measures of
astonishingly good and bad luck - and they're all here in Charge!
This is not a book filled with battle diagrams swarming with arrows
or 100,000 word descriptions of the tactical basis for the Pastry
War. It is a book about the smaller tragedies and triumphs that
actually go to make up the big picture - toilets that sink U-boats,
unsporting attacks on Christmas day, armies that stop for tea,
bombs on renegade balloons, drunk generals, blind kings, blind
drunk generals, circular warships, and all the joy and misery that
such things bring with them. And an interesting bit about the
Pastry War.
