Description

How much does leadership shape the outcome of a battle? What makes for successful command? These questions lie at the heart of this new podcast series hosted by Professor Michael Clarke, from the creators of the award-winning Sitrep.

Mike discusses the leadership of the Duke of Wellington, Boudica, Admiral Lord Nelson, Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding and Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery with a range of guests including ‘Sharpe’ writer Bernard Cornwell and General Lord Richards.

This thought-provoking series for BFBS Forces News is based on Mike’s book ‘Great British Commanders.’
