Summary
Demonstrates the strategies and techniques applied by the greatest generals in history, from Genghis Khan to Norman Schwarzkopf, to show the consistency of the basic principles of warfare.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: There is a unity in war that transcends eras and technology, a unity that makes the tasks of the great Carthaginian commander Hannibal in the third century BC practically the same as those of Norman Schwarzkopf, allied commander of Desert Storm in 1991. In this book, Bevin Alexander demonstrates the strategic thinking and battlefield techniques of some of the greatest generals in history, including Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Sherman, and von Manstein, and shows how they applied principles of military strategy that have remained constant for 2000 years.
