Brassey's Military Blunders
by Geoffrey Regan
ISBN 9781574882520

Geoffrey Regan surveys fascinating and disastrous decisions in naval and military warfare history. Both entertaining and informative, here is a look at a history that has been marked as much by incompetence as by gallantry and glory.

From ancient times to the Bay of Pigs and the Falklands War, military history has been marked as much by misjudgments and incompetence as by gallantry and glory. Such blunders have sometimes ended in tragedy. Sometimes they turned into farce. Sometimes they have ended in triumph, despite all odds.

In his collections, Geoffrey Regan not only recounts the staggering stories but also examines the kinds of problems that can lead to disaster—from the Prussian general who believed he was pregnant with an elephant to the British cruiser HMS Trinidad that torpedoed itself in the Arctic in 1942.

What They Didn't Teach You About World War II
by Mike Wright
ISBN 9780891417231

The author of "What They Didn't Teach You About the Civil War" now turns his attention to World War II and shows readers the human side of the war. In a deeply affecting tale, Mike Wright tells of those who marched to recruiting stations, and others who stood in lines to buy meat for their tables and gasoline for their cars, both heavily rationed commodities. This is more the story of the vitality and resilience of human beings than of the violence of battle. 18 photos.
