About the book

John Keegan's The Mask of Command examines military leadership through several major commanders from different historical periods. Rather than concentrating only on battlefield tactics, Keegan considers how commanders present themselves to their soldiers and how changing forms of warfare demand different styles of leadership. The book offers a thoughtful study of authority, courage and the relationship between commanders and those they lead.
