Octavo, black cloth & boards (hardcover), gilt letters, 368 pp. Very Good (with light foxing -- age darkened spotting -- to page edges) in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: In this forceful, comprehensive analysis of generals, John Keegan argues that generalship, like warfare itself, is not only an exercise in power or military skill but also a cultural activity that tells us much about a particular era or place. Central to Keegan's theme is the proposition that heroism first appeared as a principle with the rise to conquer. He vivifies this concept through the cogent definition of the careers and styles of four key military figures. Alexander the Great is the primary exemplar of the heroic ethos -- aggressive, invasive, risk-taking -- that dominated warfare until the advent of the modern state. Wellington, whom Keegan identifies as an "anti-her," personifies the conduct of war under constitutional monarchy with its professional military class isolated from political power by an apparatus of established rewards and privileges. Employing a populist touch that made him a master of the people's war, Ulysses S. Grant stands for the consciously "unheroic" generalship appropriate to democracies. The emergence of the total state in the twentieth century turned military leadership back to the heroic principle. Yet the scale of modern warfare and the range of modern weapons preclude exemplary risk-taking, and Adolf Hitler, the fourth leader Keegan examines, depended on simulated heroism and thus becomes an example of the "false heroic." In the nuclear age, the author argues, heroic leadership of any style would certainly destroy civilization. He appeals to modern states to seek and accept post-heroic leaders who will forswear victory as an aim in the management of military power.

Condition: good. Eighth Printing. 368, wraps, illus., maps, bibliography, index, some wear to cover and spine edges, price stickers on rear cover An exploration of four different military leadership styles (the heroic style of Alexander the Great, the anti-heroic style of the Duke of Wellington, the unheroic style of Ulysses S. Grant, and the false-heroic style of Adolf Hiter) and how they reflect their times. The author believes that a fifth type of leader will emerge in the nuclear age--a post-heroic leader, who acts only after clear, intellectual thought.

Super octavo softcover (VG); all our specials have minimal description to keep listing them viable. They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples. Ordering more than one book keeps postage costs down.
