In his book, Brig. Nazareth sets out to dispel the notion that “war is too serious an affair to be left to military men.” He traces the history of war from more than 3000 years ago to the present day and explores the minds of military leaders through their contribution to the success or failure of a war. In the game of war, he says, there is no second prize and crucial decisions have to be taken, sometimes instantaneously, in chaotic, even deceptive circumstances.
The author attributes a vital role to the military commander who, in addition to being technically proficient, must also be sensitive to the needs of his men. He makes a study of creativity and interprets it for us in military terms. The book is profusely illustrated with photographs of well-known military leaders, figures which explain the process of creative thinking, and maps and sketches of combat areas.
