Synopsis 50 Military leaders 'Who Changed the World does not ce4lebrate warfare, but rather shines its spotlight on the leaders the Author believes have had the greatest impact on world history. Thus book includes not necessarily the "Best" leaders, the most innovative strategists, craftiest tacticians, or even the bravest, smartest, or most admirable people. They were, however, the men and women who, for good or ill, entered the field of battle and left the world much changed upon their exit. Some, such as Genghis khan, were brilliant. Others, such as Ivan the Terrible, were mediocre generals, at best. While Joan of Arc is officially a saint, Adolf Hitler is universally considered a monster, Attila the Hun raped, pillaged, and brutally killed thousands, and Mao Zedong killed millions more than even Hitler. You may remember some or most of the men and women in this book. You may honor some and revile others. But after reading this book you won't deny that these are the leaders who made the greatest impact on humankind's brief history on this planet.
