"From ancient times, military history has been marked as much by misjudgments and incompetence as by gallantry and glory. Such blunders have sometimes ended in tragedy, sometimes in farce -- and sometimes they have ended in triumph, despite all the odds ... In his ... follow up to Military blunders, Geoffrey Regan not only recounts some of these staggering stories, but also highlights the kind of difficulties that can lead to military disaster. Regan's anecdotes encompass every aspect of warfare from friendly fire and amphibious operations to meddling leaders and lack of cooperation. More detailed case studies analyse the tactical errors made in battles"--P. [4] of cover.

Throughout history warfare has been littered with appalling blunders leading to humiliating defeats & unnecessary loss of life. In this groundbreaking account of 30 such military blunders, Regan considers why they occur. Sometimes the responsibility lies with leaders, such as Redvers Buller, the most incompetent general of the Boer War; others, such as Field Marshal Montgomery at Arnhem in 1944, fail as a result of their ambition. Failure can also be the result of poor planning, or the underestimation of the enemy, as in the Battle of Isandhlwana when the Zulus massacred Lord Chelmsford's troops. Technology is another cause, such as the NATO bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Kosovo. Color & B&W illustrations.

Who was responsible for the design of the Admiral Popov, the circular Russian battleship that wouldn't steer straight? Why did Lord Ansonset set out to circumnavigate the world with a crew of Chelsea pensioners? And how did the British cruiser HMS Trinidad manage to torpedo itself in the Arctic? The answers to these questions and details of numerous other entertaining and unbelievable historical events are revealed in this absorbing survey of naval incompetence from Roman times to the Falklands War. Geoffrey Regan certainly sets out to prove that there is truth in the old adage "Worse things happen at sea." Crammed with intriguing and often bizarre anecdotes and more than 50 illuminating illustrations, Great Naval Blunders takes a serious, but often entertaining, look at the misjudgments and oversights of captains, fleet commanders, strategic planners, and ship designers over the ages. Peppered with quotes from those who did their utmost (albeit unwittingly) to hinder naval progress, this entertaining and instructive book will appeal to the naval enthusiast and general reader alike.

Militærhistorien er gennem tiderne hyppigt karateriseret ved ulykker, fejlslutninger og udygtighed såvel som heltmodighed, triumf og lykke. Forfatteren har her fokuseret på en række af de fejlslagne operationer fra 216 f. Kr. og frem til 1982.
