Through this ingenious and original book, the reader steps into history to meet the challenges of command faced by such military leaders as Henry V. Oliver Cromwell, Benedict Arnold, Napoleon, Robert E. Lee, J.E.B Stuart, U.S. Grant, Mark Clark, George B. McClellan and more. From the Battle of Hastings in 1066 to the American Revolution and Waterloo, from the Civil War battlefields of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg to the struggle for Gaza in 10917 and the Allied breakout from the Anzio beachhead in Italy during World War II, the problems facing generals in war are presented with realism and detail.
Yours to Reason Why arrays the opposing forces in over one hundred clear maps, pictures and orders of battle - the historical backgrounds, the terrain and armaments, the personalities, the weaknesses of the leaders on both sides - then pauses at crucial stages to explain the options open to each commander.
To enter these pages is to marshal famous armies, to be - for a moment - the captain of their fates and to match wits with generals whose decisions became history.
