Military Intelligence Blunders, colonel John Hughes-Wilson

Just to give you an idea of how popular this book is, it’s on its third up day that includes the current Ukrainian conflict. 

Written in in the late 90’s this book has gone on to be included in the content for military academy’s across the globe due to its analysis of famous military mistakes. Focusing mainly on the Second World War and later this books offers a great insight into those actions that were less the successful and explores the reasons and beliefs behind the decisions taken. 

The author has a background in military intelligence and it comes through with the clear and concise analysis of the events. Various World War Two battles where there were a catalogue of mistakes made, on it to Korea, Vietnam, The Middle East and beyond all well researched and explained.

There are some important lessons out lined in this volume not only should it appeal to the military historian but any one who’s looking to build strategy’s for life, work and family could draw a lot from the reflections made here. Assumptions and poor communication are compounded by ignorance and lead to failure.

Highly recommend and a must for important lessons,

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sales, shopping and storms

Image
  Last night I listed some of the golf balls on eBay, the Titleist Pro V1’s and the TruFeel’s. Now it’s a crowded market on eBay so I placed them on promotion to be listed top. This morning I had sold both listings not for much but it’s a start.  After a quick visit to Tesco it was down to the local parcel shop to send them off.  It was an afternoon of preparing more golf balls to be listed and then a quick walk up Rowley lane and a big haul of 28 balls. When I inspected them at home three of the more valuable ones had small splits so we’re condemned to the bin.  I’ll keep you posted on more sales, have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ

Afternoon walk

Image
  It was an afternoon walk, I headed up to Rowley path as I feel there might have been a few Christmas golfers. I made it up to the top of the path and back. I found 11 balls today which was good going. The farmer had also been out with the chainsaw making the path safe by cutting some fallen trees. He’d left a can of two stroke petrol/oil mix near the tree so I grabbed it and left it on a fence post near to the farm for them to find in the daylight. It was a nice walk, I’ve finished Phoenix and I’m onto a new book so look out for a bad review.  Have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ
