What are the hidden factors that motivate armies to prevail and
conquer against all the odds? What is it that encourages soldiers
to perform unbelievable acts of courage even when the odds against
them look overwhelming? The words of inspired leaders and generals
are often the key factor. Sometimes it is just the soldier on
ground who sums up the situation best. It would seem that the day
of the set-piece conventional battle is over. For centuries their
format changed little. Even if this scenario has now changed, the
need for leaders to communicate in times of adversity has not.
Words of War covers an immense breadth - from Ancient Greece,
Alexander the Great, mediaeval battles, the American Civil War, the
two World Wars through to 21st century conflicts. Words of War
highlights the fascinating contrasts in style and content of
military and political leaders (most absorbing of all are the
extraordinary differences, and also some of the similarities it has
to be said, between the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill
and German leader Adolf Hitler during WWII). Interspersed with the
longer speeches are brief quotes, insightful one-liners and the
light-hearted look at conflict. All throw some light onto what
words drive heroic deeds in the face of adversity.
