Asia Books หนังสือภาษาอังกฤษ STRATEGISTS, THE: CHURCHILL, STALIN, ROO

In THE STRATEGISTS, Professor Phillips Payson O'Brien shows how the views these five leaders forged in WW1 are crucial to understanding how they fought WW2. For example, Churchill's experiences of facing the German Army in France in 1916 made him unwilling to send masses of British soldiers back there in the 1940s, while Hitler's mistakes on the Eastern Front were influenced by his reluctance to accept that conditions had changed since his own time fighting. _x000D_ The implications of the power of leaders remain with us to this day: to truly understand what is happening in Ukraine, for example, requires us to know what has influenced the leaders involved. _x000D_ This is a history in which leaders – and their choices – matter. For better or worse. _x000D_ _x000D_ 'For military history buffs, this is a must-read.' Publishers Weekly _x000D_
