"The two hundred personalities described in this book have a fair claim to being the most significant in the last thousand years of military history. They include warrior kings and sultans, field marshals and ministers, tribal chiefs and junior officers. The majority of the entries are naturally concerned with field commanders; but the most influential theorists and administrators -- men like Clausewitz, Steuben, and Carnot -- also qualify for notice." -- inside cover.
