Short biographies present 15 famous commanders in history from Epaminondas (418-362 BC) to Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington (1769-1882). The biographies not only present the lives and especially the military careers of the 15 personalities, but also tell of their greatest battlefield successes and the changes in warfare, army affairs and military organisation from antiquity to the Napoleonic Wars at the beginning of the 19th century.
