Shooting and being shot may seem an integral part of war, but they may not necessarily be the most essential elements of a struggle. There is always the hidden war behind the war. Veterans of wars know that in wartime, normal is not normal. Fouled up is normal. During the Second World War, these mistakes became labeled as SNAFUs. Max Horlick, who once fought in the Battle of the Bulge, shares narratives of ten historic battles covering from 450 BCE to 1945, in which the superior forces lost and often encountered the same flaw. While leading the reader through each battle, Horlick illustrates that generals, kings, presidents, and others in charge made terrible military decisions that caused soldiers to suffer. In the Battle of the Bulge, Eisenhower did not heed intelligence. On the other hand, Custer lost at Little Big Horn because he did. Other narratives highlight additional memorable battles such as Saratoga and the American Revolution, Agincourt and Shakespeare, Napoleon in Russia, and the battle of Salamis and Xerxes. SNAFU shares ten insightful and colorful tales of military battles, leaders, and the decisions that changed the course of history around the world.

Building on the success of FUBAR: Soldier Slang of World War II, Gordon Rottman returns to the world of World War II slang to cover the armies, air forces and navies of Great Britain, the USA and Germany. Military life has always been ruled by its own language, specific sets of terms and phrases that separate the serving man or woman from their civilian counterpart. There is the official version of ranks and acronyms, and the more unofficial, colloquial language of the barrack room and battlefield. This follow-up to 2007's FUBAR: Soldier Slang of World War II differs from the original book in that it covers the slang of sailors and airman as well as soldiers. Detailed sections are included for each of the major combatants of World War II, and additional appendices detail the nicknames given to the major surface vessels and aircraft types of the war. This title explores the language and slang of the major combatant powers, delving into their origins and explaining their uses. All of this is illustrated with contemporary cartoons and other images showing the phrases in use.

1st Combat Cargo Squadron, a.k.a. The Great Snafu Fleet, and the other Combat Cargo units were formed by General Hap Arnold to answer Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten´s need for airlift in Burma, one of World War II´s most primitive theaters. From August 1944, they flew C-47's from India, air-dropping supplies in Burma to Field Marshal William Slim´s 14 (British) Army. Going to China in December 1944, they spent the rest of the war there, delivering vital supplies and personnel for Gen Chennault's 14th Air Force Flying Tigers and the OSS, often behind enemy lines, and rescuing POW´s before coming home. Reorganized in late 1945 as the 326th Troop Carrier Squadron, they continue the heritage of citizen-airmen today with the C-5 in contingencies around the world. They are an almost unknown unit in a forgotten theater whose story is just being told.
