New York: Condé Nast Publications. October 1970 - January 1971. First Edition. Digest-size Magazine. Very Good+.
Gordon R. Dickson's novel The Tactics of Mistake first appeared in print when it was serialized in the October, November, December 1970 and January 1971 issues of Analog Science Fiction / Science Fact with two cover illustrations (October & December) and eleven interior illustrations by Kelly Freas. It is part of Dickson's Childe Cycle series, in which mankind has reached the stars and divided into specialized splinter groups. The fourth book written, it is chronologically the second book of the cycle, occurring roughly a century after Necromancer, and a century before Dorsai!. The key theme is the development of the Dorsai culture, and the creation of the Dorsai military model which makes their soldiers the best among all the settled worlds. It also shows the growth of the separate planetary cultures and their evolution to independence from Earth.
