This book basically is about one man, an extraordinary man, but still just a man. TACTICS OF MISTAKE is part of Gordon Dickson's Childe Cycle, but stands well on its own.

From back cover: One man could win against worlds!
IF that man was Donal Graeme, iconoclastic ex-Terran military officer, and IF his revolutionary new throries of tactics and training were valid. And the Dorsai, that world of stateless soldiers of fortune who sold their lives in foreign wars to feed their families, seemed to be the ideal testing ground.
But if Donal Graeme was wrong, if his theories were flawed and the Dorsai lacked the spark of greatness he thought he saw in them, then he was a dead man. For if he failed, he would make a blood enemy of the most powerful planet in human space.
