Taking us through the French Revolution to the Cold War and the Falklands, Andrew Roberts presents us with a bracingly honest and insightful take a look at nine main numbers in modern background: Napoleon Bonaparte, Horatio Nelson, Winston Churchill, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, George C. Marshall, Charles de Gaulle, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Margaret Thatcher.

Each of these market leaders fundamentally shaped the outcome from the battle their nation was embroiled in. How were they as well, about Command in War: Lessons from THOSE THAT Made Background and in what methods do they differ? Was their war leadership unique, or did these market leaders have something in keeping, traits and techniques that transcend period and place and may be employed to the fundamental nature of conflict?

Meticulously researched and compellingly written, Command in War presents readers with new, complex portraits of leaders who approached war with different tactics and different weapons, but with the normal objective of success in the face of battle. Both uplifting and cautionary, these portraits give essential lessons on command in situations of struggle. Along with his trademark verve and incisive observation, Roberts reveals the characteristics that doom also the most encouraging leaders to failure, and the characteristics that result in victory.
