We have long saluted military genius and bravery. But the other side of the coin is military incompetence . . . A largely preventable, tragically expensive, yet totally absorbing aspect of human behaviour. History is littered with magnificent examples of stupidity, obduracy, brutality and sheer breath-taking incompetence. And things are not getting better - some of the most inglorious episodes have happened during the last thirty years.
"Great Military Blunders" charts man's folly and cruelty in a series of stunning debacles, some of which ended in pure farce, and spans six hundred years of conflict from the middle ages to the Gulf War.
