On War and Leadership: The Words of Combat Commanders from Frederick the Great to Norman SchwarzkopfPrinceton University Press, 10 янв. 2009 г. - Всего страниц: 360 What can we learn about leadership and the experience of war from the best combat leaders the world has ever known? This book takes us behind the scenes and to the front lines of the major wars of the past 250 years through the words of twenty combat commanders. What they have to say--which is remarkably similar across generational, national, and ideological divides--is a fascinating take on military history by those who lived it. It is also worthwhile reading for anyone, from any walk of life, who makes executive decisions. |
