The Mask of Command : Alexander the Great, Wellington, Ulysses S. Grant, Hitler, and the Nature of Lea dership

A wide-ranging, forceful, and fascinating analysis of generals - who they are, what they do, and how they affect the world we live in. Its central argument is that, like warfare itself, generalship is a cultural activity, providing a key to understanding a particular place or era, as much as it is an exercise in power or military skill. Other books by the same author include: ""The Face Of Battle"", ""Who's Who In Military History"" and ""The Nature of War"".
