Why do military commanders fail at crucial moments of their careers? Robert Pois and Philip Langer, one a historian, the other an educational psychologist, study seven cases of military command failures, from Frederick the Great at Kunersdorf to Hitler’s invasion of Russia. While the authors recognize the value of psychological theorizing, they do not believe that one method can cover all the individuals, battles, or campaigns under examination. Instead, they judiciously take a number of psycho-historical approaches in hope of shedding light on the behaviors of commanders during war.

Very informative

I would recommend this for anyone that wants to get educated on the topics of military commanders and why they failed based on their personalities and methods of how they ruled. Every chapter talks about cases of military commanders and the authors realize the value of psychology and how personalities and other reasons causes these leaders to fail at the crucial point of their career. Examples of some leaders are people like Napoleon and Hitler and how their aggression and over confidence caused their downfall. I also thought the narrator made it so much more interesting to listen to because of his enthusiasm, he wasn’t monotoned at all. Definitely would recommend for informational purposes.
