Description
|
|
|
|
What tactics did Montgomery use to defeat Rommel at El Alamein? How did General Giap's Viet Minh troops inflict defeat on a French army at Dien Bien Phu, despite the great superiority of the French artillery? What was the key to George S. Patton's masterful control of armored units? Profiling the lives and careers of 24 great military commanders of the modern era, from Erich Ludendorff, John Pershing, and Heinz Guderian to Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ivan Konev, and Moshe Dayan, this survey includes contributions from such distinguished historians as Michael Burleigh, Simon Sebag Montefiore, and Richard Overy.
