“… In any conflict, one can make two serious mistakes that can cost you victory. One is to underestimate your enemy. The other is to overestimate him …”
Growing up in Northern California during the Great Depression and World War II, Arthur A. Edwards, the author, was a naval lieutenant and Korean War veteran. He has an extensive library of historical texts and studied warfare at the University of California, Berkeley. He comes from a long line of veterans: two of his great grandfathers served in the Union Army during the Civil War; a grandfather attempted to enlist in the Spanish-American War; and a father served in the Navy twice, once near the end of World War I and again during World War II.
After getting a degree in mechanical engineering from California State University, Berkeley, the author developed weather and communication satellites for the aerospace sector.
In “The War We Almost Lost: How We Came Close to Losing World War II”, the author explains how badly we were prepared for war in 1941. He discusses the areas in which we could have done much better and how the responsibility could have been shared by many politicians and military leaders.
He writes about mistakes and blunders as well as brilliant moves made during the war by both sides that allowed us to win but almost cost us victory. Better planning and execution by the Axis countries could have had disastrous effects on the Allies.
But in the end, through some good design, lucky breaks, and bad decision-making by our enemies, we rallied and came through the terrible war with flying colors, led by the “Greatest Generation” of all times.
