Historia
Scipio Africanus (236-183 BC) was one of the most exciting and dynamic leaders in history. As commander, he never lost a battle. Yet it is his adversary, Hannibal, who has lived on in public memory. As B. H. Liddell Hart writes, "Scipio's battles are richer in stratagems and ruses - many still feasible today - than those of any other commander in history." Any military enthusiast or historian will find this to be an absorbing, gripping portrait.

Historia
Liddell Hart stressed movement, flexibility, surprise. He saw that in most military campaigns dislocation of the enemy's psychological and physical balance is prelude to victory. This dislocation results from a strategic indirect approach. Reflect for a moment on the results of direct confrontation (trench war in World War I) versus indirect dislocation (Blitzkreig in World II). Liddell Hart is also tonic for business and political planning: Just change the vocabulary and his concepts fit.

Much has been written on the theory of history by philosophers and historiologists, but nothing so concise and understandable as Liddell Hart’s Why Don’t We Learn from History; the kind of title that makes one wonder and consider. And consider we certainly should in an era when so much bad history and propaganda is being put before us from unknown sources by unknown authors.

Historia
Among the autobiographies of great military figures, Ulysses S. Grant’s is certainly one of the finest, and it is arguably the most notable literary achievement of any American president: a lucid, compelling, and brutally honest chronicle of triumph and failure. From his frontier boyhood, to his heroics in battle, to the grinding poverty from which the Civil War ironically rescued him, these memoirs are a mesmerizing, deeply moving account of a brilliant man told with great courage.

Caesar Augustus's story, one of the most riveting in western history, is filled with drama and contradiction, risky gambles and unexpected success. He began as a teenage warlord, whose only claim to power was as the heir of the murdered Julius Caesar. Mark Antony dubbed him "a boy who owes everything to a name," but in the years to come the youth outmaneuvered all the older and more experienced politicians and was the last man standing in 30 BC.

In this vivid and compelling narrative, the Seven Years' War - long seen as a mere backdrop to the American Revolution - takes on a whole new significance. Relating the history of the war as it developed, Anderson shows how the complex array of forces brought into conflict helped both to create Britain's empire and to sow the seeds of its eventual dissolution. Beginning with a skirmish in the Pennsylvania backcountry involving an inexperienced George Washington, the Iroquois chief Tanaghrisson, and the ill-fated French emissary Jumonville, Anderson reveals a chain of events that would lead to world conflagration.

The struggle between Rome and Carthage in the Punic Wars was arguably the greatest and most desperate conflict of antiquity. The forces involved and the casualties suffered by both sides were far greater than in any wars fought before the modern era, while the eventual outcome had far-reaching consequences for the history of the Western World, namely the ascendancy of Rome. An epic of war and battle, this is also the story of famous generals and leaders: Hannibal, Fabius Maximus, Scipio Africanus, and his grandson Scipio Aemilianus, who would finally bring down the walls of Carthage.

In AD 200, the Roman Empire seemed unassailable, its vast territory accounting for most of the known world. By the end of the fifth century, Roman rule had vanished in Western Europe and much of northern Africa, and only a shrunken Eastern Empire remained. This was a period of remarkable personalities, from the philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius to emperors like Diocletian, who portrayed themselves as tough, even brutal, soldiers.

Ultimately, Goldsworthy realizes the full complexity of Caesar's character and shows why his political and military leadership continues to resonate some 2,000 years later.

General Stonewall Jackson was like no one anyone had ever seen. In April of 1862 he was merely another Confederate general with only a single battle credential in an army fighting in what seemed to be a losing cause. By middle June he had engineered perhaps the greatest military campaign in American history and was one of the most famous men in the Western World. He had given the Confederate cause what it had recently lacked: hope.

In November 1864, just days after the reelection of President Abraham Lincoln, General William T. Sherman vowed to "make Georgia howl." The hero of Shiloh and his 65,000 Federal troops destroyed the great city of Atlanta, captured Savannah, and cut a wide swath of destruction through Georgia and the Carolinas on their way to Virginia. A scorched-earth campaign that continues to haunt the Southern imagination, Sherman's "March to the Sea" and ensuing drive north was a crucial turning point in the War between the States.

First published in 1875, General William T. Sherman's memoir was one of the first from the Civil War and was offered to the public because, as Sherman wrote in his dedication, "no satisfactory history" of the war was yet available. Although Memoirs has been revised and corrected many times over the years, Sherman famously never changed the original text of his recollections.

"If the people raise a howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war, and not popularity-seeking. If they want peace, they and their relatives must stop the war." These are the words of General William T. Sherman, with whom "scorched earth policy" will forever be linked. In his memoirs, the Union general describes the waning days of the American Civil War and his famous march through Georgia, culminating in the capture and burning of Atlanta. With frank, forceful words, the listener is brought to the front lines as Sherman wipes out 20,000 Confederate soldiers and sacks Atlanta - and in the process boosts Abraham Lincoln's re-election campaign.

Historia
Prominent military historian Victor Davis Hanson explores the nature of leadership with his usual depth and vivid prose in The Savior Generals, a set of brilliantly executed pocket biographies of five generals (Themistocles, Belisarius, William Tecumseh Sherman, Matthew Ridgway, and David Petraeus) 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.

Historia
At the beginning of 1864, the Civil War was far from won; terrible and bloody Union setbacks and casualties lay ahead. Abraham Lincoln was facing a re-election battle as some northern Democrats were ready to start peace talks that could leave the Confederacy a separate slaveholding American nation and as his secretary of the treasury, Salmon P. Chase, challenged him for the Republican nomination. But by the end of the year, the war's end was in sight, and slavery was on the verge of extinction.

Historia
In this revelatory, dynamic biography, Benson Bobrick, profiles George H. Thomas, arguing that he was the greatest and most successful general of the Civil War. Because Thomas didn't live to write his memoirs, his reputation has been largely shaped by others, most notably Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman, two generals with whom Thomas served and who diminished his successes in their favor in their own memoirs.

Historia
Ben Franklin's own lively story of his early years is a unique, fascinating, and influential look at this American founding father. It has been taught in schools as a moral tract, as a guide to self-improvement, and as the Great American Success Story. It also is relished both for its insight into colonial life and the mind of the man who most affected the development of our democratic form of government.

Historia
Thomas Jefferson was arguably the most brilliant and inspiring political writer in American history. But the ethical realities of his personal life and political career did not live up to his soaring rhetoric. Indeed, three tensions defined Jefferson’s moral life: democracy versus slavery, republican virtue versus dissolute consumption, and veneration for Jesus versus skepticism about Christianity. In this book, Thomas S. Kidd tells the story of Jefferson’s ethical life through the lens of these tensions.

New insights from am old tome
It’s an amazing thing to get a fresh perspective by reaching back nearly a century. Yet Hart’s insights are timeless and contain points not seen in numerous extant Sherman biographies which continue to churn out the same ideas that have been hashed over many times. Additionally, Hart’s broad, deep knowledge of military history affords many comparisons with campaigns past, and allows for analysis of strategy rather than simple recounting of events. However, his treatment of Sherman’s post-war life, which contains many interesting events, is rather thin.
I get it — a British author requires a British reader. But the listening would’ve been much easier to understand had an American been recruited for the US edition of this book, eliminating differing pronunciation and accent.
Recommended for those who want deeper understanding of Sherman’s life and times.

A good look at an American Icon
This was an interesting book on Sherman.
I picked it up due to my reading of Ryan Holiday's "Ego is the Enemy", and I was expecting a more comprehensive biography of one of the most underrated figures of the Civil War.
This is a more in-depth look at the Civil War with a little bit of the before and after of Sherman's life. However, overall, it is a surprisingly engaging book that really delves into the mind of W.T. Sherman.

A Must Read!!!
Loved this book. I am from Lancaster, OH so it was fantastic to read a book about such a renowned figure from my hometown. Sherman was a giant of his age and any lover of military history and strategy will love this fascinating and detailed review of his life and career with only scant opinion. The narrator does a great job of being easily understood while maintaining the mood of each section without putting you to sleep. There are even some parts of high brow comedy, masterfully derived by the writer from Sherman's correspondence and memoirs. Highly recommend!

Excellent evaluation of the growth of a person
Lidell-Hart’s revealing of Sherman’s growth as a general and person was outstanding. His own personal experience as a soldier gave him the ability to recognize Sherman’s genius not only as a military strategist but also as a psychologist.

Focused story of Sherman and outstanding narrator
Although written in another era, nearly 100 years ago, in language that we don't use today, I found this portrayal of Sherman to be riveting. I have read several books about Grant and the battles in the west in which he and Sherman were engaged. I have a natural interest since I have a g-g grandfather who served in Sherman's armies from Corinth through Missionary Ridge. Hart's narrative is lucid and clear. He cites Sherman's correspondence extensively and places the campaigns and battles in the context of the wider war. It helped me that I already had more detailed background on the course of events since this is not a detailed battle book. Liddell Hart is unabashed in his respect for Sherman. As such, Sherman's vilifiers will not find this book as engaging and rewarding as I did. If half of it is accurate, which is certainly an understatement, Sherman was a remarkable individual.
As always, Derek Perkins is simply the best. He can narrate every audio book I listen to and I will be happy. I recently listened to a book about Tesla that could have used his voice.

Perfect performance for an American icon
Derek Perkins gives another outstanding performance, and thankfully he was selected as the narrator for this biography of William Tecumseh Sherman, the brilliant Civil War General who was instrumental in bringing the war to an end. Sherman grew into his role and developed his tactics and strategy of diversion and troop movement. For this strategy he saved the lives of his troops by avoiding confrontation, yet achieving his goals. This is an inspiring and illustrating biography. It was hard to put dow. Unlike Robert O’Connell’s biography, Hart’s is dominated by meticulous descriptions of battles, such as the march to Savannah. This is more of a military history than O’Connell’s which delves into Sherman’s family dynamic and other affairs away from the battle, such as his matriculation at West Point and commands before the Civil War. Hart is battle concentrated and Perkins’ commanding voice dominates the telling of Sherman’s story.

Deep dive
Be prepared this is a very deep look into Schoellman and his campaigns. There are times when it gets kind of bogged down with the details of the different campaigns and to listen to it once you’re not going to be able to comprehend all of it. I was kind of hoping for something a little more Sherman specific. But you definitely give a very good feel for how he did what he did and perhaps a little of what he was thinking.

Well written, well read
Hart was clearly a master scholar who’s writing showed a delight in the scholarship and subject of this giant of modern military history, Sherman.
The narrator did a great job reading it making a great combo.

great book/good narrator
i deducted a star because the narrator's English accent and pronunciation of certain words annoyed me. I would have liked it better if they used an American as the narrator.
