Description:
New book, 240 pages. Only a few of even the most famous military commanders of history are worthy of the title "great captain", those men who were not only masters of strategy and tactics, but whose influence was felt far beyond their own campaigns. They were a select band who made such an impact upon the art of war that their influence was evident for many generations, their names almost becoming legendary: Gustavas Adolphus, Marlborough, Frederich the Great, George Washington, and the Duke of Wellington.
