(Think about Propaganda posters). When Canadian soldiers left for Europe and the war in the fall of 1914, most were expecting adventure, heroism, and excitement. What they encountered upon their arrival was much different, and far from glamorous. Soldiers were living in trenches- long, narrow ditches, dug by hand, that they would live in day and night. The trenches would often fill with water from the rai, and muddy puddles would fill the bottoms of the trenches, causing trench foot when soldiers would stand in the water for long periods of time.

In this timely and controversial examination of civilian-military relations in wartime democracies, Eliot A. Cohen chips away at this time-honored belief with case studies of statesmen who dared to prod, provoke, and even defy their military officers to great effect.Using the leadership of Abraham Lincoln, Georges Clemenceau, Winston Churchill, and David Ben-Gurion to build his argument, Cohen offers compelling proof that, as Clemenceau put it, “War is too important to leave to the generals.” By examining the shared leadership traits of four politicians who triumphed in extraordinarily varied military campaigns, Cohen argues that active statesmen make the best wartime leaders, pushing their military subordinates to succeed where they might have failed if left to their own devices. Thought provoking and soundly argued, Cohen\'s Supreme Command is essential reading not only for military and political players but also for informed citizens and anyone interested in leadership.
