These words of Captain Charles de Gaulle, written in 1921, sound particularly poignant today, as conflicts on our borders are on the rise and the fragile balance of peace is being shaken. In this essay, Pierre Santoni addresses the crucial question of combat leadership training. How do you train those who will be responsible for commanding the battles of the 21st century? How do you train leaders and skilled tacticians who are able to lead complex manoeuvres and use the most advanced technologies while protecting the lives of their soldiers? Through the most famous military thinkers, historical examples and the analysis of recent battles, Pierre Santoni paints a rich and documented picture of these warlords - from sergeant to general - who must rule chaos to achieve victory.
