The mother of all retreats a critical analysis of general H. Norman Schwarzkopf : the battlefield strategy and missed opportunities in the persian gulf war - New York : Marcel Dekker, 1997

The dramatic victory of the allied forces over the Iraqi army is eroding into question of battlefield errors, misinformation, and administration interference that limited victory. These missed opportunities have permitted Iraq to maintain their elite Republican Guard, a force that continues to threaten Kuwait. This study explores the battlefield strategy of General H> Norman Schwarzkopf and uses as a basis of comparison the principles of Frederick Taylor's theory of Scientific Management.
