Professor Mark R. Polelle examines great military leaders in history, beginning with George Washington and moving on to Napoleon, U.S. Grant, Pershing, MacArthur, and Schwarzkopf, among others. The course also addresses the politics of military history and leadership and illustrates the circumstances that enable the rise of great leaders. Perhaps most importantly, Professor Polelle raises and answers that essential question: What is it that makes a good leader? Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

General Lee was especially surprising. 1) He was not popular with the Southerners at the start of the war. 2) He was more successful at defensive operations. 3) The possibility of him serving on the Northern side had never occurred to me.
HIs perspective on the more modern generals was also interesting.
