Résumé ou extrait
- From the wooden horse of Troy to the Gulf War, military history has been much marked by chance and error as by gallantry and heroism. Erik Durschmied's entertaining view shows how many conflicts have been decided by the caprice of weather, bad intelligence, or individual incompetence. In military terms, the incident that swings a battle from victory to defeat in a moment is known as the Hinge Factor
