"Barry Strauss has written a riveting, fast-paced, penetrating volume around three powerful war leaders-Alexander the Great, Hannibal and Caesar. While other classicists draw on ancient philosophers for lessons on the life well lived, Professor Strauss looks to men of action and determination for lessons on leadership and strategy. It's a great read, packed with terrific insights." -Karl Rove, Barry Strauss has written a riveting, fast-paced, penetrating volume around three powerful war leaders--Alexander the Great, Hannibal and Caesar. While other classicists draw on ancient philosophers for lessons on the life well lived, Professor Strauss looks to men of action and determination for lessons on leadership and strategy. It's a great read, packed with terrific insights., Alexander, Hannibal, and Caesar--this is a book on leadership like no other. A rare combination of stirring dialogue, masterful ancient scholarship and sage advice--both lessons and warnings. Just as Asian corporate planners read Sun Tzu, Western entrepreneurs and strategic thinkers will want to read Masters of Command ., Military historian Strauss cleverly exposes the characters of three legendary leaders through the five stages of war: attack, resistance, clash, closing the net and knowing when to stop. . . . Strauss sharpens our image of three brilliant commanders and makes military history great fun., With Masters of Command , Barry Strauss further establishes himself as one of our premier historians of the classical world. Steeped in ancient learning and gifted with a clear, accessible writing style, he is able to shed new light on three of the most famous generals in history: Alexander, Hannibal and Caesar, teasing out fresh meaning and original insights from their epic tales of conquest and failure. There are lessons here not only for budding military strategists but also for 'great captains' of the boardroom. . . .
