Masters of Warfare
Masters of Warfare is a book that looks at 50 military commanders throughout history who the author, Eric G. L. Pinzelli, believes are underrated in modern opinion. These commanders come from a wide range of time periods and geographical locations, including Asia and Europe, and cover both land and naval warfare. The book is presented chronologically, with a concise overview of each commander’s life and career.
Overall, the book offers a fascinating survey of the development and continuity in the art of command, as well as the evolution of weaponry, tactics, and strategy throughout history. According to the comments, the book is a good resource for military enthusiasts, although some may have preferred a more balanced approach that included more well-known Western commanders.
It is possible that Masters of Warfare could be useful for wargaming, as it provides information on a variety of military commanders from different time periods and locations. This could potentially provide inspiration for creating scenarios or scenarios for wargames. Additionally, learning about the strategies and tactics used by these commanders could potentially inform decision-making during wargames.
