Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sir William Robertson, the Life Story of the Chief, of the Imperial General Staff It was Napoleon who remarked that "all great captains have performed vast achievements by conforming with the rules of the art - by adjusting efforts to obstacles." The subject of this biography is a conspicuous present-day example of a captain who has achieved success and done great things by surmounting obstacles, unaided and alone. The stirring and amazingly successful career of General Sir William Robert Robertson, K.C.B., K.C.V.O., D.S.O., Chief of the Imperial General Staff, is one of the romances of recent times. There is no more fascinating military record for the ambitious young soldier to read and study, and in order to find a parallel to his rapid rise we have to go back to the days of the French Revolutionary wars. Certainly General Robertson has had the most remarkable career of any soldier produced by this country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
