Reviews
Enthralling ... One closes this book wishing that its final verdict was as well known as more familiar tenets of Greek wisdom., Vivid . . . ambitious . . . Challenges readers to broaden their horizons and examine their assumptions. . . . [Hanson] more than makes his case., Mr. Hanson's fluency with a broad range of historical epochs, which has made him one of his generation's most notable historians, is on full display in The Savior Generals ., "Mr. Hanson's fluency with a broad range of historical epochs, which has made him one of his generation's most notable historians, is on full display in 'The Savior Generals.'" -- Mark Moyar, Wall Street Journal "It is not really news that Victor Davis Hanson has written another outstanding and eye-opening book. He has done that before and repeatedly, on a variety of subjects." -- Washington Examiner "An instructive series of portraits of five military outsiders called in to turn defeat into victory." -- Kirkus Reviews "An engaging book in which the action on the battlefield is placed within a larger perspective of the politics and the societies that go to war, and the qualities of the generals who fight those battles." -- John E. McIntyre, The Baltimore Sun "Students of military leadership will be intrigued by Hanson's astute set of cases." -- Booklist "Great summer reading...In The Savior Generals, credit is given where it's due." -- Weekly Standard "Provides widely applicable insight regarding the dynamics of leadership and consensus, and how those dynamics can change the destiny of nations." -- Pittsburgh Tribune-Review "Victor Davis Hanson has written another good book for a wide variety of audiences." -- New York Journal of Books, I have never read another book which explains so well the truth that 'war lies in the dark hearts of us all' but that history offers hope, Provides widely applicable insight regarding the dynamics of leadership and consensus, and how those dynamics can change the destiny of nations., An instructive series of portraits of five military outsiders called in to turn defeat into victory., Mr. Hanson's fluency with a broad range of historical epochs, which has made him one of his generation's most notable historians, is on full display in 'The Savior Generals.', Hanson's penetrating insights into each of the generals and the wars they fought will both astound and educate and leave the reader with a deep appreciation for the manifold difficulties of command in any era. Simply put, this is an excellent work from start to finish. With 'The Savior Generals,' Hanson has once again proven why he is one of America's foremost military historians., An engaging book in which the action on the battlefield is placed within a larger perspective of the politics and the societies that go to war, and the qualities of the generals who fight those battles., Hanson performs the difficult feat of not talking down to readers while still presuming no prior knowledge of the war., Few writers cover both current events and history--and none with the brilliance and erudition of Victor Davis Hanson...., It is not really news that Victor Davis Hanson has written another outstanding and eye-opening book. He has done that before and repeatedly, on a variety of subjects.

Synopsis
Leading military historian Victor Davis Hanson returns to non-fiction in The Savior Generals , a set of brilliantly executed pocket biographies of five generals who single-handedly saved their nations from defeat in war. War is rarely a predictable enterprise--it is a mess of luck, chance, and incalculable variables. Today's sure winner can easily become tomorrow's doomed loser. Sudden, sharp changes in fortune can reverse the course of war. These intractable circumstances are sometimes mastered by leaders of genius--asked at the eleventh hour to save a hopeless conflict, created by others, often unpopular with politics and the public. These savior generals often come from outside the established power structure, employ radical strategies, and flame out quickly. Their careers often end in controversy. But their dramatic feats of leadership are vital slices of history--not merely as stirring military narrative, but as lessons onthe dynamic nature of consensus, leadership, and destiny., Stirring portraits of five military commanders (Themistocles of ancient Athens, the Byzantine general Belisarius, William Tecumseh Sherman, Matthew Ridgway, and David Petraeus) warriors whose dynamic leadership changed the course of war and history, filled with Hanson's trademark insight and depth of historical vision., Leading military historian Victor Davis Hanson returns to non-fiction in The Savior Generals , a set of brilliantly executed pocket biographies of five generals who single-handedly saved their nations from defeat in war.
