Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Providence and the Man; Or Ulysses S. Grant, in the War of the Rebellion: A Compendium In the world´s history, every great war has not only developed great leaders, but has developed new means and methods of conducting campaigns, both in a strategic and tactical sense; and the man who has most clearly comprehended the needed means and methods, and has been most prompt and vigorous in putting the same in force, has borne away the honors, which the world ever has and ever will cheerfully and liberally bestow upon those men who, in great crises, when nations struggle for existence, exhibit that highest type of moral courage and intellectual force, which enables them to successfully command and direct the accumulated human force, on which the weighty struggle hinges. In the days of primal warfare, when the bludgeon was the sole weapon, we may well believe that physical size and prowess would most often confer leadership; and only those mental qualities were needed which confer power to exercise authority and command over the weaker and more impressible natures, who made up the uncouth rabble constituting the followers.
