From the ancient Crusades to the modern age of chemical warfare and smart bombs‚ history is littered with horribly bad military ideas. Whether a result of lack of planning‚ miscalculations‚ a leader's ego‚ spy infiltration‚ or just a really stupid idea in the first place‚ each military defeat is fascinating to dissect. HOW TO LOSE A WAR chronicles the vast history of these disastrous and doomed.

Strategies‚ such as:

* Xerxes' Defeat in Greece at Marathon
* Alexander's Invasion of India
* Napoloeon's occupation of Spain
* The French humiliation by Prussia in 1870
* Islanwanda‚ massacre of a British army by the spear armed Zulus
* Operation Sea Lion‚ the no-start Nazi invasion of the U.K.
* The Loss of China by Chiang Kai Shek to Mao and the Communists
