'Wonderful ... among military historians, Roberts is Britain's
crown gem' Wall Street Journal 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.
