50 Military Leaders Who Changed The World by William Weir Pdf

50 Military Leaders That Changed the World does not celebrate warfare, but rather shines its spotlight on the leaders the author believes have had the greatest impact on world history. The 50 Military Leaders That Changed the World weren't necessarily the "best" leaders, the most innovative strategists, craftiest tacticians, or even the bravest, smartest, or most admirable people. They were, however, the men and women who, for good or ill, entered the field of battle and left the world much changed upon their exit. You will easily recognize some of the names?George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte, Charlemagne, Horatio Nelson, and Ulysses S. Grant, among others. And you may be stumped by those that only a historian could claim to know, like Yi Sun Shin, Tuhril Beg, Chandragupta, and Sargon of Akkad. Some, like Genghis Khan, were brilliant. Others, like Ivan the Terrible, were mediocre generals, at best. While Joan of Arc is officially a saint, Adolf Hitler is universally considered a monster, Attila the Hun raped, pillaged, and brutally killed thousands, and Mao Zedong killed millions, more than even Hitler. But each and every of them changed history. You may remember some or most of the men and women in this book. You may honor some, revile others. But after reading 50 Military Leaders That Changed the World, you won`t deny that these are the leaders who made the greatest impact on our brief history on this planet. You may be equally interested in those who were relegated to "honorable mentions" (military leaders who changed the world?but not enough), including Hannibal, William Wallace and Fidel Castro. And those who were omitted from list entirely, including Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, George S. Patton, Dwight D. Eisenhower, George C. Marshall and Douglas MacArthur.

The 50 Greatest Leaders of All Time by Ryan Jackson Pdf

History has shown us that leadership can come from anywhere, from anyone. Some of the most recognizable names in history–Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi–came from nothing. Some other recognizable names–Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Alexander the Great–came from great privilege. That's the beauty of leadership: its impartial to upbringing. History has also shown us that the world's greatest leaders come from all different fields. Albert Einstein is universally recognized as an innovative thought leader in science, while Mary Wollstonecraft is universally recognized as an innovative thought leader in the march towards women's rights. The bounds are endless. This book is a culmination of the great leaders of the world, ranking them based on two factors: leadership ability and impact on the world. It analyzes how the upbringing and life experiences of each of the chosen leaders influenced their leadership style, and what lessons can be pulled from them. The selected leaders impacted a broad range of people throughout their lives, and from many different platforms, from world leaders, to civil rights leaders, to philosophical leaders, to economic leaders, company leaders, and even to nation-building leaders. Every type of leader out there is examined in depth within these covers.

Great Commanders by Christopher Richard Gabel,James H. Willbanks Pdf

Commanding Generals and Chiefs of Staff, 1775-2013 by William Gardner Bell Pdf

From the Foreword: This volume provides short biographical sketches of the commanding generals and chiefs of staff who have led the United States Army. Their rise through the levels of leadership to the pinnacle of their profession reveals both striking parallels and equally fascinating contrasts. While their responsibilities have evolved over the years, the essential elements of leadership remain unchanged. The format of this volume combines biographical information along with the officially designated portraits of the commanding generals and chiefs of staff. It also includes brief accounts of the artists selected to paint the official portraits. As an aspect of the Army art program, these portraits add an interesting and revealing dimension to the biographer's words. This volume not only celebrates the legacy of dedication and patriotism left by these leaders, but also enhances our understanding of military leadership at the highest levels. All those interested in the profession of arms should become familiar with those who have led our Army.

The Worst Military Leaders in History by John M. Jennings,Chuck Steele Pdf

Spanning countries and centuries, a “how-not-to” guide to leadership that reveals the most maladroit military commanders in history—now in paperback. For this book, fifteen distinguished historians were given a deceptively simple task: identify their choice for the worst military leader in history and then explain why theirs is the worst. From the clueless Conrad von Hötzendorf and George A. Custer to the criminal Baron Roman F. von Ungern-Sternberg and the bungling Garnet Wolseley, this book presents a rogues’ gallery of military incompetents. Rather than merely rehashing biographical details, the contributors take an original and unconventional look at military leadership in a way that appeals to both specialists and general readers alike. While there are plenty of books that analyze the keys to success, The Worst Military Leaders in History offers lessons of failure to avoid. In other words, this book is a “how-not-to” guide to leadership.
