The Mask of Command
Overall this was a good military leadership discussion. I enjoyed the comparison of Alexander, Wellington, Grant, and of course, even Adolf Hitler. The historical discussion and comparison of the leadership styles with the modes of warfare technology provide an interesting discussion of leadership changes. Alexander from the front, always victorious. Wellington not so close, but in the thick of bullets whizzing about. Grant, always everywhere on the battlefield but in artillery range of the Confederates. Hitler ensconced in his different HQ's hundreds of miles from any front completely oblivious to frontline happenings, but always on the radio. It helps having a good understanding of all the times under discussion. I am very poor at Civil War history so I needed to look up quite a bit on Grant. I gave this one four stars and I was happy to read it.
