Items related to Fatal Victories
The fatal victory is one where battlefield success is achieved by an unwitting sacrifice of grand strategy that later results in the loss of the war. Weir examines 14 such episodes in detail. From classical conflicts to the wars of religion and succession to the modern era with its civil wars, popular uprisings, and global conflicts, Weir shows that defeat has often been snatched from the jaws of victory.
