Custer to the criminal Baron Roman F. von Ungern-Sternberg and the bungling Garnet Wolseley, this book presents a rogues' gallery of military incompetents. Rather than merely rehashing biographical details, the contributors take an original and unconventional look at military leadership in a way that appeals to both specialists and general readers alike. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While there are plenty of books that analyze the keys to success, \u003ci\u003eThe Worst Military Leaders in History \u003c\/i\u003eoffers lessons of failure to avoid. In other words, this book is a \"how-not-to\" guide to leadership.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John M.
