Beschreibung

The following lectures aim to indicate briefly what we owe to the great captains, and to draw an intelligible outline of their careers. Caesar is the only one of the great captains who trained himself to arms. Alexander, Hannibal, Gustavus Adolphus, Frederick, owed their early military training to their fathers, though, indeed, Frederick's was but the pipe-clay of war. Napoleon got his in the best school in France. But hey all have contributed to the growth of the art of war.


This new large print edition, designed to make reading comfortable, is illustrated with beautiful paintings.
