( ) Pages 59-94 were assigned reading for WWII in Europe Case Study as part of S&W at the NWC. I used this section as helpful research for my paper on Allied strategy in Europe, arguing against the inevitability of Allied victory due to resource superiority. One quote I pulled directly that came from the challenging U-boat campaign in the Atlantic, "Certainly, those who fought in the Battle of the Atlantic did not consider it won until the very last moment…”p93. From the syllabus: Cohen and Gooch examine operational failure in war by exploring American anti-submarine warfare during the initial stages of U.S. involvement in the Second World War.

Why do competent armies fail? * Why did the American-led coalition in Iraq fail to wage a classic counter-insurgency campaign for so long after the fall of Baghdad? * Why was the sophisticated Israeli intelligence service so thoroughly surprised by the onslaught of combined Arab armies during the Yom Kippur War of 1973? * How did a dozen German U-boats manage to humiliate the U.S. Navy for nine months in 1942 -- sinking an average of 650,000 tons of shipping monthly? * What made the 1915 British-led invasion of Gallipoli one of the bloodiest catastrophes of the First World War? Since it was first published in 1990, Military Misfortunes has become the classic analysis of the unexpected catastrophes that befall competent militaries. Now with a new Afterword discussing America's missteps in Iraq, Somalia, and the War on Terror, Eliot A. Cohen and John Gooch's gripping battlefield narratives and groundbreaking explanations of the hidden factors that undermine armies are brought thoroughly up to date. As recent events prove, Military Misfortunes will be required reading for as long as armies go to war. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
