Through portraits of four generals - Alexander the Great, Wellington, Ulysses S Grant and Hitler - the author propounds the view of heroism in warfare as inextricably linked with the political imperative of the age. He demonstrates how the role of the general alters with the ethos of the society that creates him and concludes that there is no place for heroism in a nuclear world. First published in 1987.
