About this ebook
With the world in turmoil there is is considerable global interest in the record of military commanders in various countries throughout the ages. But what made them successful? And why have they become military legends? How much is it to do with their strategic abilities, leadership qualities or force of personality? These are the questions this book seeks to answer. Using the same structure as the successful, PRIME MINISTERS, PRESIDENTS and DICTATORS it features essays on military commanders from many countries around the world, from Roman times to the 20th and 21st centuries. The essays are written by a range of military experts, academics, historians, commentators, political journalists and serving politicians who have either written about their subjects before or have a personal connection of some kind.
