Özet
 With the world in turmoil there is is considerable global interest in the record of military commanders in various countries throughout the ages. But what made them successful? And why have they become military legends? How much is it to do with their strategic abilities, leadership qualities or force of personality? These are the questions this book seeks to answer. Using the same structure as the successful, PRIME MINISTERS, PRESIDENTS and DICTATORS it features essays on military commanders from many countries around the world, from Roman times to the 20th and 21st centuries. The essays are written by a range of military experts, academics, historians, commentators, political journalists and serving politicians who have either written about their subjects before or have a personal connection of some kind.©2026 Iain Dale (P)2026 Hodder & Stoughton Limited Military Liderlik Savaş Emperyalizm

firstly, I think it's always important to acknowledge that Iain Dale is a producer of these series, not an author. That being said, I - like so many others - are deeply grateful that he has taken this role of compiler/organiser as this is another brilliant addition to his previous collections.

This particular one may even be my favourite. There were, at times, rather odd and frustratingly "woke like" admissions and opinions. However, that reflects my own political positioning, and I must say - I didn't mind feeling challenged when I didn't agree with a view point from a particular assayist. Each one is extremely well written, and Dale's narration, though clunky at times, is well delivered.

I look forward to the next installment.

Another brilliant compilation of essays

With over 60 subjects and authors this book is inevitably a mixed bag. Many contributions are excellent, some are middling and one is downright awful. The overarching need for brevity means there are many more pencil sketches than detailed paintings. Some of the inclusions - and resulting omissions - are strange, but often create interesting diversions from well-trodden history. The emphasis has been on biography rather than military analysis - it is a shame that so few words are devoted to generalship. Phrases such as “he used his strategic insight to achieve success” frequently left me wondering what that insight might have been.

Content is superb and well read. Only criticism is that the chapters are numbered rather than telling you which one is about which general.

Excellent work
