In six lectures the military historian Dodge examines the generalship of Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Gustavus Adolphus, Frederick the Great and Napoleon. He sets each commander against the warfare of his age, comparing the mobile armies of antiquity with the seventeenth century’s war of fortresses, depots and lines of supply.
A concise classic of military history, ideal before tackling Dodge’s longer volumes. Download the free EPUB.
