Spanning countries and centuries, a "how-not-to" guide to
leadership that reveals the most maladroit military commanders in
history. 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 Hoetzendorf 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 appeals to both specialists
and general readers alike. While there are plenty of books that
analyze 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.
