Item description from seller

Folio Society Edition. 400 [3] pp. Bound in blue cloth blocked with a silver medal design and red ribbon motif. Original silver-grey slipcase. Introduced by Lawrence Freedman with a frontispiece depicting the statue of Achilles. Pristine condition throughout. A seminal work of military history that examines the changing nature of leadership through four archetypal figures: Alexander the Great, Wellington, Grant, and Hitler. Keegan explores how the "mask" a leader wears is dictated by the era's political and social expectations. .
