Great captains
Theodore Ayrault Dodge
These lectures lay the foundation for one of the most famous bodies of work produced by an American on the history of warfare. Their author, who saw action in the Civil War, became an avid student of ancient military conflicts and the traditions of leadership that developed from those conflicts. Dodge introduces six great military leaders, each one in command of his country destiny. Beginning with Alexander the Great, and proceeding to Hannibal and Julius Caesar, he blends his own knowledge of military strategy with that of the ancient chroniclers. He then moves on to discuss the three outstanding military minds of the modern period: Frederick the Great, Napoleon, and Gustavus Adolphus. Illustrated with maps of battle sites, this book provides readers with an informative guide to the military genius of six gifted soldiers.
