Generalship: Its Diseases And Their Cure: A Study Of The Personal Factor In Command

3.8/5 ( ratings)

This short study, long out of print, presents Fuller's devastating criticism of British general officers based on his WWI and post-war experience both as a general himself and as a long-time general staff officer. It came out in 1932 and he was put on the retired list a year later. The key to his analysis is, per the subtitle, is the lack of a personal element in the modern general's command style. The telephone-mad "Blimps" in their Gilbert & Sullivan chateux have been replaced by commanders micromanaging from wars from offices a world away. Fuller is as relevant as ever.
