How to Lose WWII: Bad Mistakes of the Good War by Bill Fawcett

The sheer size of the conflict and the immense scope of a single battlefield, multiplied the effects of both brilliant and bad decisions.

The author of How to Lose a Battle and How to Lose a War introduces the catastrophic missteps, including: Poland's lack of preparation for the Nazi invasion; Germany's failure to take Britain out of the war at Dunkirk; Russia playing Goliath to Finland's David; allied forces getting trapped for four months on the beaches of Anzio; and, Germany wasting its costly development of jet power.
