Total copies: 3
"¿́¿This work examines four case studies in leadership and civil-military relations. Focusing on Abraham Lincoln, Georges Clemenceau, Winston Churchill, and David Ben-Gurion and their relations with subordinate military commanders, Cohen argues that, rather than adhere to traditional civilian and military roles in directing war, some of the most successful civilian leaders have inserted themselves into what many have argued were ¿́¿purely military¿́¿ spheres of strategic and operational art. Cohen¿́¿s work provides an accessible treatment of long-standing issues in the field of civil military relations.¿́¿ -- SAF Professional Reading Programme, 4th Edition ¿́¿ STAGE IV: LTC 2 and above
