For this book, fifteen distinguished historians were given a
deceptively simple task: identify their choice for the worst
military leader in history, and then explain why theirs is the
worst. From the clueless Conrad von Hötzendorf and George A.
Custer, to the criminal Baron Roman F. von Ungern-Sternberg and the
bungling Garnet Wolseley, this book presents a rogues’ gallery of
military incompetents. Rather than merely rehashing biographical
details, the contributors take an original and unconventional look
at military leadership in a way that will appeal to both
specialists and general readers alike. While there are plenty of
books that analyse the keys to success, The Worst Military Leaders
in History offers lessons of failure to avoid. In other words, this
book is a ‘how-not-to’ guide to leadership.
