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.

This book gives us an insight into some psychological factors that lead to failures in military operations. We learn that psychology plays a role in historical analyses. This book is definitely easier to understand if you have a decent amount of knowledge of the history of war and psychology. As someone who doesn't have much interest in history, it was a bit hard to follow everything that was going on. There were only a couple of things I was completely able to grasp. Some people that the book covers are George McClellan, Frederick the Great, Napolean, and Hitler. It touches on their failures and why they happened. This book can be a bit hard to follow if you don't have much knowledge in these areas. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in history. One of my roommates, who loves history, heard me listening to this book from the other room and began talking about how interesting she thought this book was. She said she’d love to listen to the whole thing. Having historical knowledge will make this book more interesting and worth the listen. I think the narrator had a strong voice. The volume was great and I feel as if the author used proper emotion and energy to keep things interesting. This is not normally the type of book I would listen to, but I found myself interested in listening to it.
