And why have they become military legends? How much is it to do with their strategic abilities, leadership qualities or force of personality? These are the questions this book seeks to answer. Using the same structure as the successful, PRIME MINISTERS, PRESIDENTS and DICTATORS it features essays on military commanders from many countries around the world, from Roman times to the 20th and 21st centuries.
