Description

In military terms, the incident which can swing a battle from victory to defeat in a moment is known as the Hinge Factor. This work describes battles which demonstrate this phenomenon - including the circumstances behind the loss of the Holy Cross, through to the attack of African war bees in 1914, to Star-War weaponry in the Gulf War.
