Thompson, MarkWORLD WAR II BATTLES RECONSIDERED: Game Theory and Decision Science Perspectives on Gazala, El Alamein, Falaise and Arnhem Written by a former Harvard professor of decision science and game theory, presents original insights on the strategies and tactics undertaken in four major battles of the Second World War.

Credits that to heeding the millennia-old military priority of command unity, which has been analyzed and re-endorsed by modern decision science. Also looks at the Allied setback at Arnhem in the Netherlands, calling into question the value of battlefield surprise.
