This reminds me of Charles Fair’s classic FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY. That was one of my best-loved books when I first became interested in military history.
William Weir’s FATAL VICTORIES, about the most tragic military triumphs in history, from Attila the Hun’s invasion of Gaul, to Bunker Hill, to the Fourth Crusade, to Pearl Harbor, to Claiborne Hancock at Pegasus, in a nice deal, by Edward Knappman at New England Publishing Associates (world).
Military triumphs are indeed both tragic and mesmerizing when viewed against a dark background.
