Synopsis
Excerpt from Colossal Blunders of the War
A most gratifying feature of this investigation is the enthusiastic aid given by the Generals who commanded the American Armies in France. No better proof of their patriotism could be afforded than their willing ness to lay bare the errors of 1917-18 in order to keep them from happening again in some future crisis. In time of war all criticism is hushed. When drums are beating and bugles blowing, every act of anyone in authority is hailed as the best, the wisest, the greatest that could possibly be. That time is now past, and we can profitably scrutinize the imperfections of what we once thought so perfect, in order to save, at some future day, the lives of gallant men the world can ill afford to lose.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a hard look at the costly mistakes that led to the loss of life and ultimate failure of the Allied Powers in World War I. While much of the focus is on the inexperience and shortcomings of the American military machine, the author delves into the blunders made by the Germans, British and French as well. He describes how the lack of a functioning General Staff, insufficient training, and the mismanagement of supplies created a deadly combination that hampered American military efforts. Through the examination of specific events and the quotes of key military figures, the author highlights the crucial role of preparation and training in winning a war, and argues that the United States was woefully unprepared for the conflict. This book is a timely reminder that a nationââ â¢s ability to wage war effectively rests not only on the courage and sacrifice of its soldiers, but also on the competence and foresight of its leaders. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780260886200_0
