Review

"...[A] brilliant and engrossing book..."

First line

My father, who helped in a small way to kill thousands, was not a violent man. Curtis Lemay, who led him into battle, surely was.

Publisher's note

Arguing that American Generals Sherman and Patton, as well as ancient Athenian General Epaminondas, were the three greatest military leaders in history, the author makes his case by demonstrating the qualities, on and off the battlefield, that made them great.

Annotation

A classicist examines three historic military marches: Epaminonda's march against Sparta; Sherman's march to the sea in the American Civil War; and Patton's race to the Rhine during World War II. He argues against conventional historical readings of the means by which the general achieved their ends. Hanson draws the lesson that, in the cause of democracy, bold military leadership can bring good results.
