The book also delves into the political and social contexts in which these leaders operated, providing a comprehensive understanding of the factors that contributed to their success or failure.Great Captains is a highly informative and engaging read, suitable for anyone interested in military history or the art of leadership. The book is well-researched and provides a wealth of information on some of the most famous military campaigns in history. It is also written in an accessible and engaging style, making it an enjoyable read for both casual readers and students of history. Overall, Great Captains is a must-read for anyone interested in the art of war and the great military leaders who shaped history.1889. A course of six lectures showing the influence on the art of war of the campaigns of Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Gustavus Adolphus, Frederick, and Napoleon. These lectures were delivered in Boston, under the auspices of the Lowell Institute, in January, 1889. There conciseness needs but the apology of scant time. Little can be said about Alexander or Napoleon within the limit of an hour. The sketches are of necessity meager. They are a summary in part of a larger work, of which the author hopes soon to begin the publication, in which a volume will be devoted to each great captain, and mention made of other soldiers who have contributed to the growth of the art of war. The lectures aim to indicate briefly what we owe to the great captains, and to draw an intelligible outline of their careers, which may be filled in by reference to the extended narratives of others. Historical detail often assumes prominence in the mind to the exclusion of general form. It is the latter which it is attempted to portray.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
