“Barry Strauss has done it again: Masters of Command combines the timeless wisdom of the classical
world with the urgent realities of modern warfare. This is a stunning handbook on leadership—both
on and off the battlefield.”
—Nathaniel Fick, author of One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer
“Barry Strauss has written a riveting, fast-paced, penetrating volume around three powerful war
leaders—Alexander the Great, Hannibal, and Caesar. While other classicists draw on ancient
philosophers for lessons on the life well lived, Professor Strauss looks to men of action and
determination for lessons on leadership and strategy. It’s a great read, packed with terrific insights.”
—Karl Rove
“With Masters of Command, Barry Strauss further establishes himself as one of our premier historians
of the classical world . . . . There are lessons here not only for budding military strategists but also
for ‘great captains’ of the boardroom. And, most important, there is a crackling good read for anyone
who delves into this insightful and entertaining new book.”
—Max Boot, Jeane J. Kirkpatrick Senior Fellow for National Security Studies, The Council
on Foreign Relations, and author of War Made New: Technology, Warfare, and the Course of
History: 1500 to Today
“Alexander, Hannibal, and Caesar—this is a book on leadership like no other. A rare combination of
stirring dialogue, masterful ancient scholarship, and sage advice—both lessons and warnings. Just as
Asian corporate planners read Sun Tzu, Western entrepreneurs and strategic thinkers will want to
read Masters of Command.”
—Robert L. O’Connell, author of The Ghosts of Cannae: Hannibal and the Darkest Hour of the
Roman Republic
“Barry Strauss has no superior and few counterparts as a scholar of ancient military history and a
student of war.”
—Dennis Showalter, former president, Society for Military History
