Each had to look beyond the battlefield to decide whom to fight, when, and why; to know what victory was and when to end the war; to determine how to bring stability to the lands he conquered. Each general had to be a battlefield tactician and more: a statesman, a strategist, a leader. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Tactics change, weapons change, but war itself remains much the same throughout the centuries, and a great warrior must know how to define success. Understanding where each of these three great (but flawed) commanders succeeded and failed can serve anyone who wants to think strategically or who has to demonstrate leadership. In \u003ci\u003eMasters of Command \u003c\/i\u003eBarry Strauss explains the qualities these great generals shared, the keys to their success, from ambition and judgment to leadership itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barry Strauss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.6lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439164495","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42709348384905,"sku":"9781439164495","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_533cfe57-f37d-4044-922e-d54c6fcd2200.jpg?v=1719514369","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/masters-of-command-alexander-hannibal-caesar-and-the-genius-of-leadership-9781439164495","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
