What makes a great military leader? Why is it that men,  indeed sometimes entire nations, follow a single leader, often to victory, but  with equal dedication also to defeat?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDozens of names come to mind...Napoleon, Lee,  Charlemagne, Hannibal, Castro, Hussein. From a wide array, Keegan chooses four  commanders who profoundly influenced the course of history: Alexander the Great,  the Duke of Wellington, Ulysses S. Grant and Adolph Hitler. All powerful  leaders, each cast in a different mold, each with diverse  results. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Mask of Command\u003c\/i\u003e is a companion volume to John Keegan's classic study of the individual soldier, \u003ci\u003eThe Face of Battle\u003c\/i\u003e: together they form a masterpiece of military and human history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380146766079,"sku":"9780140114065","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780140114065_s600x595.jpg?v=1775588525","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780140114065","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
