Why do military commanders, most of them usually quite capable, fail atcrucial moments of their careers? Robert Pois and Philip Langer -- one a historian, the other an educational psychologist -- study seven cases of military commandfailures, from Frederick the Great at Kunersdorf to Hitler's invasion of Russia.While the authors recognize the value of psychological theorizing, they do notbelieve that one method can cover all the individuals, battles, or campaigns underexamination. Instead, they judiciously take a number of psycho-historical approachesin hope of shedding light on the behaviors of commanders during war. The otherbattles and commanders studied here are Napoleon in Russia, George B. McClellan'sPeninsular Campaign, Robert E. Lee and Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg, John BellHood at the Battle of Franklin, Douglas Haig and the British command during WorldWar I, "Bomber" Harris and the Strategic Bombing of Germany, andStalingrad.
