Victory to Defeat
A compelling history of the decline of an army from the triumph of victory in 1918 to defeat in 1940 and why this happened. But by 1939 the British Army was an entirely different animal. A salutary warning for modern Britain.The British Army won a convincing series of victories between 1916 and 1918.
In the inter-war years there was plenty of talking, but very little focus on who Britain might have to fight, and how. The hard-won knowledge, experience and strategic vision that delivered victory after victory in the closing stages of the First World War had been lost. Victory to Defeat clearly illustrates how the British Army wasn't prepared to fight a first-class European Army in 1939 for the simple reason that as a country Britain hadn't prepared itself to do so.
The failure of the army's leadership led directly to its abysmal performance in Norway
