Meraviglioso. Tra gli storici militari, Roberts è il gioiello della corona britannica' Wall Street Journal Portandoci dalla Rivoluzione francese alla Guerra fredda e alle Falkland, il celebre storico Andrew Roberts ci presenta uno sguardo onesto e perspicace su nove grandi figure della storia moderna: Napoleone Bonaparte, Horatio Nelson, Winston Churchill, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, George C. Marshall, Charles de Gaulle, Dwight D. Eisenhower e Margaret Thatcher. Ognuno di questi leader ha fondamentalmente plasmato l'esito della guerra in cui era coinvolta la sua nazione. In che modo erano simili e in che modo erano diversi? La loro leadership in guerra era unica o questi leader avevano qualcosa in comune, tratti e tecniche che trascendono il tempo e il luogo e possono essere applicati alla natura fondamentale del conflitto? Ricercato meticolosamente e scritto in modo avvincente, Leadership in War presenta ai lettori ritratti freschi e complessi di leader che hanno affrontato la guerra con tattiche e armi diverse, ma con l'obiettivo comune del successo di fronte alla battaglia. Sia stimolanti che ammonitori, questi ritratti offrono lezioni importanti sulla leadership in tempi di difficoltà. Con la sua verve distintiva e l'osservazione incisiva, Roberts rivela le qualità che condannano al fallimento anche i leader più promettenti, e le qualità che portano alla vittoria.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A comparison of nine leaders who led their nations through the some of greatest wars the world has ever seen and whose unique strengths - and weaknesses - shaped the course of human history.Napoleon, Nelson, Churchill, Hitler, Stalin, Marshall, de Gaulle, Eisenhower and Thatcher: each of these leaders fundamentally shaped the outcome of the war their nation was embroiled in. How were they alike, and in what ways did they differ? Was their war leadership unique, or did these leaders have something in common, traits and techniques that transcend time and place and can be applied to the fundamental nature of conflict?Meticulously researched and compellingly written, Leadership in War presents readers with fresh, complex portraits of leaders who approached war with different tactics and different weapons, but with the common goal of success in the face of battle. Both inspiring and cautionary, these portraits offer important lessons on leadership in times of struggle. With his trademark verve and incisive observation, Roberts reveals the qualities that doom even the most promising leaders to failure, and the qualities that lead to victory.
