A collective work bringing together 25 portraits of great military commanders of the early modern era, from the Duke of Marlborough to Napoleon, with figures such as Robert Clive, Clausewitz, Frederick the Great and Shaka Zulu. Each profile, written by a historian, sets out the soldier's biography and analyzes his tactics and strategic legacy.
It is an English-language edition of 432 pages, published in 2011; it forms part of a series that also covers the ancient, medieval and modern eras.
It is intended both for those approaching military history for the first time and for readers with prior knowledge who want an overview.
