Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. A study of Francis Marion's leadership in the South Carolina lowcountry campaigns. After futilely chasing his nemesis through miles of swamps, British dragoon Banastre Tarleton told his exhausted men, 'Come, my Boys! Let us go back, and we will find the Gamecock [Thomas Sumter], but as for this damned old fox, the Devil himself could not catch him.' From Tarleton's lament, Francis Marion acquired the nickname 'Swamp Fox' and became the very symbol of the Patriot cause in the South Carolina lowcountry. Yet, Tarleton and those like him seemed to have all the advantages. More men and equipment. Better training. Greater firepower. Still somehow Marion routinely got the best of his foes. How? Surely Marion benefited from his local intelligence and the fervor of his cause, but in and of themselves, these advantages would not have been sufficient to overcome the British military preponderance. It took leadership to defeat the British and Marion delivered it. This book explains how he did it. The book has three parts. The first section establishes the historical background and context necessary to appreciate Marion's situation. In the second section, eight different broad leadership categories are addressed, each with a brief explanation of the leadership competency at hand and then an example of that competency as demonstrated by Marion. The third section captures some conclusions about how leadership impacted the American Revolution in the South Carolina lowcountry and provides some information about how the reader might explore those physical reminders of Marion and his exploits that exist today. Readers interested in history or leadership or both will all find something for them in Leading like the Swamp Fox. AUTHORS: Kevin Dougherty is the Assistant Commandant for Leadership Programs at The Citadel and the author of several books including The Campaigns for Vicksburg, 18621863 (Casemate 2011), which illustrates leadership principles through historical narrative. Steven D. Smith is a Research Professor at the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of South Carolina. He is the author of several books and articles on Francis Marion, including Partisans, Guerrillas, and Irregulars A study of Francis Marion's leadership in the South Carolina lowcountry campaigns.

Hardback. Condición: New. Francis Marion is certainly the stuff of which legends are made. His nickname "The Swamp Fox," bestowed upon him by one of his fiercest enemies, captures his wily approach to battle. The embellishment of his exploits in Parson Weems' early biography make separation of fact from fiction difficult, but certainly represents the awe, loyalty, and attraction he produced in those around him. His legacy is enshrined in the fact that more places in the United States have been named after him than any other soldier of the American Revolution, with the sole exception of George Washington. Even today's U.S. Army Rangers include Marion as one of their formative heroes. Surely much about leadership can be learned from such an intriguing personality.  Leading like the Swamp Fox: The Leadership Lessons of Francis Marion unlocks those lessons. Divided into three parts, the book first presents the historical background and context necessary to appreciate Marion's situation. The main body of the book then examines Marion's leadership across eight categories, with a number of vignettes demonstrating Marion's competency. The summary then captures some conclusions about how leadership impacted the American Revolution in the South CarolinaLowcountry. An appendix provides some information about how the reader might explore those physical reminders of Marion and his exploits that exist today.
