Strategy & Tactics of the Great Generals and Their Battles

Cloth. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. Slightly sunned spine to D/J. Foreword by General Oma Bradley. History has shown that every great general earned his reputation on the basis on one great victory. This book describes the 16 battles in which the 16 most famous generals in modern history made their reputations. From both a strategical and tactical point of view, the ways the generals fojnd and won their greatest victories are presented in this book. Some generals who made their reputations, such as Napoleon at Austerlitz deserve the fame won on the field of battle that day. Others, like General Haig on the Black Day in 1918 or Marshall Petain at Verdun, have tarnished reputations despite their victories. In this book several historians examine the process of hero-building by analyzing the greatest generals of modern history in their most well-known battles. Illustrated with tactical and strategic maps, as well as hundreds of photos and paintings, this book will prove to be a standard work of military history. Napoleon at Austerlitz 1805.
