No matter how skillful the commander, the sheer unpredictability of battle, compounded usually by fear and uncertainty, is a guarantee of unrehearsed chaos. In this fascinating book noted historian Kenneth Macksey shows how every high command involved in World War Two suffered variously from unpreparedness, complacency, delay, over-confidence or plain ineptitude, among other sins. No theater of operation was exempted from major error. The sixteen specific examples featured here range from Hitler's failure to take Britain in 1940, the troubles in the Western Desert campaign, the political interference in the air war over Germany, the Allied failure at Arnhem and the extraordinary Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944.
