    About this audiobook

    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?

      Commentary: Neil DeGrasse Tyson On 'Space Force' And The Uneasy Alliance Between Astrophysics And The Military

      Oct 29, 2018

      Neil deGrasse Tyson showed up with a substantial backpack whose contents, he assured me, could restart the universe if necessary. It was certainly heavy enough to do the job; perhaps it was packed with a rare mineral - maybe osmium, twice as heavy as

      This framework of understanding, interesting and important in itself, told us very little about the conduct of war. It was massively weighted in favour of the Hundred Years’ War, but even then it focused on specific battles and great events. There wa

      The debate is at least as old as Socrates. Is history best understood as the past actions of ‘great men’ and their consequences, or are larger, impersonal forces more important? The historian R G Collingwood, in The Idea of History, framed Socrates’s
