"The fortunes of war" = vận mệnh của chiến tranh -> nghĩa là những việc không thể đoán trước được trong chiến tranh.
Ví dụ
Gray was awarded a Victoria Cross and is remembered today on memorials ranging from cadet (trường sĩ quan) units to a school to a new navy patrol vessel. There is even a memorial to him and his bravery in Japan. But as far as I’ve been able to determine, Sutton is almost unknown, even in his hometown. The fortunes of war are fickle indeed.
When the fortunes of war turned, it was most visible in the southern Ardennes town of Bastogne, where surrounded U.S. troops (lính) were cut off for days with little ammunition (súng đạn) or food.
Adolf Hitler badly needed a major reversal (lật ngược) in the fortunes of war to give Germany a chance to negotiate a more favorable peace agreement than the “unconditional surrender” that President Franklin Roosevelt had in mind.
