Book Synopsis Loss In Battle by : Lazaro Rapelyea
Download or read book Loss In Battle written by Lazaro Rapelyea. This book was released on 2021-07-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you say that someone has lost the battle, but won the war, you mean that although they have been defeated in a small conflict they have won a larger, more important one of which it was a part. Guiding the reader through more than two centuries of military campaigns, the author shows how defeat in battle need not lead to defeat in war. That Ulysses S. Grant suffered several repulses during the American Civil War is one instance, the Anglo-French Retreat from Mons in 1914 another. But he does not focus solely on general officers: analyzing the Second World War and Korean War actions, veterans of all ranks impart how the engagements felt to them.
