An excellent work dealing with military leadership
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
"Masters of the Art of Command" is an excellent work dealing with military leadership across the ages. From Sulla, in Roman times to the Vietnam era, from privates and lieutenants to generals, this piece examines various commanders and what they did as commanders to exercise effective military leadership. I originally was assigned to read this book as part of Army ROTC back in the 1970s. I recently revisited and reread it, and it is truly an underrated work, well worth examination by students of military history and the soldierly art.
