Back Fire: The Tragic Story of Friendly Fire in Warfare from Ancient Times to the Gulf War
Description:
This startling & revelatory study presents a chilling expose of war s most incomprehensible tragedies: friendly fire , the euphemism commonly used for being killed by one s own colleagues or allies, presumably in error. Covering a sweep of history from the days of Alexander the Great to the 20th century -- including Korea, Vietnam, the Falklands & the Gulf War -- the author describes the incidents of friendly fire in detail & examines the causes behind them. This harrowing & engrossing study examines the truth behind the most tragic examples of military incompetence & sheds new light on a sadly ancient problem.
