Taking us from the French Revolution to the Cold War and the
Falklands, celebrated historian Andrew Roberts presents us with a
bracingly honest and insightful look at nine major figures in
modern history: Napoleon Bonaparte, Horatio Nelson, Winston
Churchill, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, George C. Marshall, Charles
de Gaulle, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Margaret Thatcher. Each of
these leaders fundamentally shaped the outcome of the war their
nation was embroiled in. How were they alike, and in what ways did
they differ? Was their war leadership unique, or did these leaders
have something in common, traits and techniques that transcend time
and place and can be applied to the fundamental nature of conflict?
Meticulously researched and compellingly written, Leadership in War
presents readers with fresh, complex portraits of leaders who
approached war with different tactics and different weapons, but
with the common goal of success in the face of battle. Both
inspiring and cautionary, these portraits offer important lessons
on leadership in times of struggle. With his trademark verve and
incisive observation, Roberts reveals the qualities that doom even
the most promising leaders to failure, and the qualities that lead
to victory.
