  This dictionary outlines the biographical details and often brutal careers of the 200 most outstanding land commanders from the 10th to the 20th centuries. Lesser-known pioneers of particular methods of soldiering are included, along with great military theorists such as Karl von Clausewitz and Captian Sir Basil Liddell-Hart. Wherever possible the authors have enlivened their factual accounts with glimpses of the characters involved.
