Abstract

Andrew Roberts’ Leadership in War: Lessons from Those Who Made History (Allen Lane, 2019) offers readers a range of lessons drawn from nine case studies. Two case studies are from the Napoleonic Wars (Napoleon and Nelson); six from the Second World War (Churchill, Hitler, Stalin, Marshall, De Gaulle and Eisenhower); and one from the more recent Falklands War (Thatcher). The publication offers an opportunity to consider the two main types of leadership text: inspired/ing narrative biographies/autobiographies and leadership research informed works.
