Dixon, Norman F - On the Psychology of Military Incompetence - ( Item 141768 )
Published in United Kingdom by Folio Society. 2016. First Printing. Fine Hardback. No inscriptions or bookplates. Near Fine slipcase. Slight marks to panels of slipcase. Three-quarter-bound in cloth with a printed Modigliani paper front board. Set in Mentor. 480 pages. Frontispiece and 16 pages of colour and black & white plates. 9.5" x 6.25". Introduced by General Sir Rupert Smith. This incisive and engrossing book is a revealing study of 100 years of military incompetence, from the disasters of the Crimean War to the 'misery and chaos' of Operation Market Garden. As well as providing fascinating examples of costly blunders, it also scrutinises the psychology of the men at the heart of these conflicts, and the social psychology of the military as a whole. The result is an unusual perspective on some of the most significant events in recent human history, as well as a series of eye-opening lessons that can be applied beyond the military itself. A hundred years of military blunders accompanied by a fascinating psychological analysis.
