The Captains of the Old World: As Compared with the Great Modern Strategists is a book written by Henry William Herbert. This book is a comparative study of the military commanders of the past and the present. The author compares the tactics, strategies, and leadership styles of the great captains of the old world, such as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Napoleon Bonaparte, with those of the modern-day military leaders like General George Patton and Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery.The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the captains of the old world, and the second part focuses on the modern strategists. The author analyzes the military campaigns of the old world captains and the modern strategists, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. The book also explores the impact of technology and innovation on modern warfare.The author argues that the captains of the old world were superior to the modern strategists in terms of their leadership skills, strategic thinking, and ability to inspire their troops. However, the modern strategists have the advantage of technology and superior firepower, which has changed the nature of warfare.The book is well-researched and provides a comprehensive analysis of the military commanders of the past and present. It is an excellent resource for military historians, scholars, and anyone interested in the history of warfare.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
