The work delves into the contributions of six prominent military leaders to the evolution of military strategy and tactics that have shaped the art of war. The focus on historical figures like Alexander the Great and Napoleon suggests a comprehensive analysis of their campaigns and the broader implications on warfare. The opening of the lectures introduces readers to the overarching theme of how war has been documented and understood throughout history, emphasizing the intellectual aspects of military leadership. Dodge argues that the great captains not only engaged in battles but also developed strategic concepts that defined their campaigns. The preface sets the stage for detailed explorations of each captain’s tactics and contributions, outlining how the interplay of intellect, character, and historical circumstances crafted military doctrine. This blend of history and analysis provides a compelling foundation for readers interested in military strategies and the legacies of these iconic leaders.
