It may be the standard foot soldier or individual pilot who fights a war but the success or failure of a battle or campaign usually hinges on the quality of the command and leadership at the top.

These skillful essays, from the membership of the British Commission for Military History, brings together significant examples from the last 140 years in order that other students of the subject are encouraged to compare the various examples of command experienced in that time - from the American Civil Wars and the Victorian Colonial Wars, through 1914-18 and 1939-45, Korea, Vietnam and the Falklands to the Gulf War. This new paperback edition includes a revised and expanded Introduction. The members of the British Commission for Military History contributing to this book include some of Britain's leading military lecturers, commentators and authors.
