The Psychology of Military Incompetence by Norman Dixon (1975)
The Crimea; the Boer War, The Somme, and many others.... highlights of a century of military incompetence, of costly mishaps and tragic blunders. Are such blunders simple mishaps? Do they happen by accident - as the 'Bloody Fool' Theory has it, or are they inevitable, caused by an incompetence which is itself a result of the requirements of the military system? In this controversial and superb book, Dr Nixon examines these and other mistakes and relates them to the social psychology of military organization and to the personalities of some eminent military commanders. His conclusions are both startling and disturbing.
"This book should certainly be compulsory reading wherever future officers are selected or trained, and deserves a very wide readership among psychologists and laymen" - New Society
Here I read excerpts from 2 chapters.
