Military Misfortunes: The Anatomy of Failure in WarWhy do competent armies fail? Why did the American led coalition in Iraq fail to wage a classic counter insurgency campaign for so long after the fall of Baghdad? Why was the sophisticated Israeli intelligence service so thoroughly surprised by the onslaught of combined Arab armies during the Yom Kippur War of 1973? How did a dozen German U boats manage to humiliate the U. S. Navy for nine months in 1942 sinking an average of 650,000 tons of shipping
Why do competent armies fail? - Why did the American-led coalition in Iraq fail to wage a classic counter-insurgency campaign for so long after the fall of Baghdad?- Why was the sophisticated Israeli intelligence service so thoroughly surprised by the onslaught of combined Arab armies during the Yom Kippur War of 1973?
- How did a dozen German U-boats manage to humiliate the U.S. Navy for nine months in 1942 -- sinking an average of 650,000 tons of shipping monthly?
- What made the 1915 British-led invasion of Gallipoli one of the bloodiest catastrophes of the First World War?
Since it was first published in 1990, Military Misfortunes has become the classic analysis of the unexpected catastrophes that befall competent militaries. Now with a new Afterword discussing America's missteps in Iraq, Somalia, and the War on Terror, Eliot A. Cohen and John Gooch's gripping battlefield narratives and groundbreaking explanations of the hidden factors that undermine armies are brought thoroughly up to date. As recent events prove, Military Misfortunes will be required reading for as long as armies go to war.

I've loved these - great value and performance
Style: Standard, Color: Black
I purchased these almost three years ago, and I've taken them out on runs several times a week since then. I've been very satisfied with the ease of use (I've had no trouble at all connecting to my two Android phones and my Mac), sound quality, and battery life. I thought to put up a review today because one of the over-the-ear loops broke after 34 months of use. I've superglued it and will see how it lasts, but, at this price point, I've gotten more than my money's worth, and I'm ready to buy another pair if the ones I have are done.

Cool, Compact and Convenient !
Style: Standard, Color: Olive
I really love these PocBuds earbuds...they sound robust and the case is a charging case which is very convenient and compact. I love that I can wear just one at a time while the other stays charged. That way I can listen to my music or podcasts while I walk or cook. The color is a rich, camo green which is one of my favorite color shades of green. I highly recommend and God bless❣️ John 3:16

Good Product But May Not Be For Everyone
Style: Standard, Color: Olive
The look exactly as pictured and described and they’re very nice. Even the small buds feel a bit big for my ears but they fit snug enough to not have to worry about them falling out. They’re relatively comfortable but I haven’t had a change to wear them for long. Either way they seem very much able to stay in your ears. There’s not a lot of adjustability to the ear cuff portion and if you have long hair it’s harder to get them in and they get caught and they to go through your hair. It took me some getting used to on how to put them comfortably but once they’re in they’re very secure. They along with their charging case charge fast and hold charge well. The display telling you percentage is great and the controls seem to be very easy. They’re not great for noise cancelling but I knew that before purchasing because I read the other reviews. Honestly it’s not like you can hear EVEURHING especially if the audio is on but that’s great, especially if you end up using them in public because you’ll be able to pay closer attention to your surroundings. It may not be good if you can’t focus with bleed through noise but just about everything has its trade offs. Overall it’s a very nice product ESPECIALLY for the price. I don’t like scanning QR codes personally so I haven’t registered yet but they do also include a 5 year extended warranty if you feel so inclined.

Excellent blazer!
Size: X-Large, Color: Dark Grey
Very nice fabric. Comfortable throughout chest arms and waist. Very nice shade of grey that goes with everything! Fit was perfect. It claims to be washable but I prefer dry cleaning. All Stitching is hidden and it is fully lined. I wear blazers daily for work and this one is great especially for the price.

Perfect fit for a medium build 5ft 6
Size: Medium, Color: Light Grey
I am happy with this grey color Blazer. The fit is spot on- I am 5’6” medium build, and it fits comfortably without feeling too tight or too loose. The material feels high quality and has a nice weight into it. Making it look more premium than expected.
It’s also very comfortable to wear for extended periods, whether for work or going out. Overall great value and a solid addition to my wardrobe. Would definitely recommend!
