## Description

An exhilarating and uplifting account of the lives of sixteen &apos;warriors&apos; from the last three centuries, hand-picked for their bravery or extraordinary military experience by the eminent military historian, author and ex-editor of the Daily Telegraph, Sir Max Hastings. Over the course of forty years of writing about war, Max Hastings has grown fascinated by outstanding deeds of derring-do on the battlefield (land, sea or air) -- and by their practitioners. He takes as his examples sixteen people from different nationalities in modern history -- including Napoleon&apos;s &apos;blessed fool&apos; Baron Marcellin de Marbot (the model for Conan Doyle&apos;s Brigadier Gerard); Sir Harry Smith, whose Spanish wife Juana became his military companion on many a campaign in the early 19th-century; Lieutenant John Chard, an unassuming engineer who became the hero of Rorke&apos;s Drift in the Zulu wars; and Squadron Leader Guy Gibson, the &apos;dam buster&apos; whose heroism in the skies of World War II earned him the nation&apos;s admiration, but few friends. Every army, in order to prevail on the battlefield, needs a certain number of people capable of courage beyond the norm. In this book Max Hastings investigates what this norm might be -- and how it has changed over the centuries. While celebrating feats of outstanding valour, he also throws a beady eye over the awarding of medals for gallantry -- and why it is that so often the most successful warriors rarely make the grade as leaders of men.

    I have read the first two chapters which I found very interesting. The personage described in each of the chapters are from the Napoleon Bonaparte time frame describing the life of the character's both on a personal level, but also their experience in combat. A good insight into what it was like w/o the technology we have today in weapons and communication.

    A Great Primer about some Heavy Hitters
  

*by D***N on October 18, 2009*









  
  
    Sir Max hastings has done it again in this book of his about the selected lives of some of the Current Worlds best Warriors. Note I said warriors and not soldiers as there is a vast difference between the two breeds. If one wants to learn about these folks then one could do a lot worst than this tome. In the limited experience I had while in Mr. Reagans Army, what he has said rings true to me. I just do not want to give too much away from the pleasure and education the book reveals. Its just a pity that he did not include Lawrence of Arabia, Chesty Puller or a couple of other studs that come to mind. Oh well!  By the way the Author has seen the elephant when covering the Falkland Wars.
  


### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Warriors: Portraits from the Battlefield
  

*by B***N on November 9, 2013*









  
  
    This book provides brief biographies of a few selected warriors.  For me, it was a Reader's Digest sort of experience.  Not a lot of depth and not a selection of warriors I found all that interesting.  Max Hastings has written many fine books.  This is not one of them.
