PREFACE
So much has been written about the great soldiers of the world, that it
is a matter of considerable hardihood to attempt to present another
volume on the subject in any sense "new." But the Great War has not
only brought to the center of the stage a new group of martial
figures--it has also intensified and revivified our interest in those
of a bygone day. The springs of history rise far back. We can the
better appreciate our leaders of today and their problems, by comparing
them with the leaders and problems of yesterday. Waterloo takes on a
new aspect when viewed from Vimy Ridge.
The present book includes a round dozen of the great soldiers of
yesterday and today. The list is about equally divided among British,
French, and American leaders, and is confined to the last two
centuries. Each man selected is typical of a particular time and task.
His life story contains a message of definite interest and value.
