Great Military Leaders

Many of the most prominent leaders in world history led armies that conquered empires, expanded existing territory, or established new nations. Some of these figures, like George Washington, are remembered best for accomplishments off of the battle field. Others, like Genghis Khan, have legacies that are indivisible from their daring military campaigns. In fact, some of most distinguished military leaders of all time have become the stuff of legend. Great Military Leaders separates the truth from myth, presenting information about historical figures, their cultures, their leadership styles, and how they leveraged military strategy and available technology to literally re-draw the map of the world.
