Churchill. Hitler. Stalin. Mussolini. Roosevelt. Five of the most
impactful leaders of WW2, each with their own individualistic and
idiosyncratic approach to warfare. But if we want to understand their
military strategy, we must first understand the strategist.
In THE STRATEGISTS, Professor Phillips Payson O'Brien shows how the
views these five leaders forged in WW1 are crucial to understanding how
they fought WW2. For example, Churchill's experiences of facing the
German Army in France in 1916 made him unwilling to send masses of
British soldiers back there in the 1940s, while Hitler's mistakes on
the Eastern Front were influenced by his reluctance to accept that
conditions had changed since his own time fighting.
The implications of the power of leaders remain with us to this day: to
truly understand what is happening in Ukraine, for example, requires us
to know what has influenced the leaders involved.
This is a history in which leaders – and their choices – matter. For
better or worse.
