MASTERS OF WARFARE: Fifty Underrated Military Commanders from Classical Antiquity to the Cold War

MASTERS OF WARFARE: Fifty Underrated Military Commanders from Classical Antiquity to the Cold War
by Esposito, Gabriele

1-235490

Provides a selection of 50 commanders in chronological order whose military achievements, skill, or historical impact may be underrated by modern opinion. Thius specifically does not include the household names (the Gods of War as he calls them) such as Alexander, Julius Caesar, Wellington, Napoleon, Rommel, or Patton that have been covered in countless biographies.

Those chosen come from every period of recorded military history from the sixth century BC to the Vietnam War. The selection rectifies the European/US bias of many such surveys with Asian entries such as Bai Qi (Chinese), Attila (Hunnic), Subotai (Mongol), Ieyasu Tokugawa (Japanese), and Vo Nguyen Gi?p (Vietnamese). Naval commanders are also represented by the likes of Khayr al-Din Barbarossa, Francis Drake, and Michiel de Ruyter. Offers concise overviews of their lives, careers, and contributions to the evolution of weaponry, tactics, and strategy through the ages.
