Inhaltsangabe
The Mask of Command is about generals: who they are, what they do and how they affect the world we live in. Through portraits of four generals - archetypal hero Alexander the Great, anti-hero Wellington, the unheroic Ulysses S. Grant and the false heroic of Hitler - John Keegan propounds the view of heroism in warfare as inextricable linked with the political imperative of the age and place. He demonstrates how the role of the general alters with the ethos of the society that creates him and concludes that there is no place for heroism in a nuclear world.
The Mask of Command is a companion volume to John Keegan's classic study of the individual soldier, The Face of Battle: together they form a masterpiece of military and human history.

The Mask of Command
Anbieter: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spanien
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Zustand: Muy bueno. : En 'La Máscara del Mando', John Keegan explora la naturaleza del liderazgo militar a través de los perfiles de cuatro figuras históricas clave: Alejandro Magno, el Duque de Wellington, Ulysses S. Grant y Adolf Hitler. Keegan argumenta que el liderazgo militar está intrínsecamente ligado al contexto cultural y político de cada época, y que la percepción del heroísmo en la guerra evoluciona con la sociedad. Este estudio examina cómo la sociedad moldea al general y cómo el papel del líder militar se adapta a los valores y necesidades de su tiempo, concluyendo que el heroísmo tradicional ya no tiene cabida en un mundo marcado por la amenaza nuclear. Este libro es una reflexión profunda sobre la historia militar y la condición humana, complementando la obra de Keegan 'El Rostro de la Batalla'.
