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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While there are plenty of books that analyze the keys to success, \u003ci\u003eThe Worst Military Leaders in History \u003c\/i\u003eoffers lessons of failure to avoid. In other words, this book is a \"how-not-to\" guide to leadership.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789147728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.25w x 1.40d","brand":"John M.
