Geoffrey Regan's Book of Military Blunders

by Geoffrey Regan

From ancient times to the Bay of Pigs and the Falklands War, military history has been marked as much by misjudgements and incompetence as by gallantry and glory. Author Geoffrey Regan not only recounts some of the staggering stories, but also highlights the kinds of difficulties that can lead to military disaster. Incorporating 50 fascinating illustration and laced with famous last words ('Well, don't worry about it' - American officer at Pearl Harbor observing blips on radar screen), this entertaining and instructive book will appeal to the military buff and general reader alike.

It's good, but I can't read it through in one sitting. My library lets you take a book for 3 weeks. I have borrowed this twice now and still have some to go. More like Geoffery Regan's Book Of ALL THE Military Blunders IN ALL OF RECORDED HISTORY. I mean I get it, but it gets old after a while. All the stories are interesting but, there are just so many. I can only read 1-2 stories about (Pick a subject, overconfidence, poor planning, reconnaissance, etc.) before I've had enough. Now if this is your thing you know what your in for.

I laughed a lot but at the same time I felt very bad cuz I was actually laughing to people that died, for stupid reasons, but they died

respect to the fallen ones
