| |  | | | In Brief
The authors seek to show "how military failures may be analyzed to great advantage. . . . Their thesis is that military defeat can result from problems inherent in the organizational makeup of an army or in its 'systems,' by which they mean its technological components. . . . These failures are placed in various categories, such as 'Failure to Learn,' 'Failure to Anticipate,' and'Failure to Adapt.'" (Choice) Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
Rejecting accepted theories for unexpected military disasters, the authors brilliantly analyze disasters of great magnitude. They assert that military misfortune turns not on individual or collective failure but is rooted in the nature of the complex interconnections between men, systems, and organizations.
