Great Captains Unveiled incisively examines the brilliant military
careers and intriguing personalities of six masters of the
battlefield, all of whom antedate the French Revolution: Jenghiz
Khan (1167?-1227) and Sabutai (1172?-1245), who led their Mongol
cavalry into the heart of medieval Europe and shook the fabric of
its civilization; the French Marechal de Saxe (1696-1750), one of
the greatest generals of his age, a military prophet of rare
foresight, and author of Reveries, a classic on the art of war;
Gustavus Adolphus (1594-1632), the Swedish king during the Thirty
Years War and the founder of the modern army, who emphasized
officer education, national recruitment, and the combination of
firepower and mobility; Wallenstein (1583-1634), champion of the
Holy Roman Empire and Adolphus's formidable opponent, who proved to
be a genius of maneuver and psychological warfare; and James Wolfe
(1727-1759), whose flawless execution of one of the most daring
amphibious operations in history virtually gave Canada to the
British. Liddell Hart's penetrating, decisive studies of these
great captains reveal not only their genius and impact, but offer
relevant lessons that 20th-century military commanders have yet to
fully reap.
