“absolutely first rate” — G. Gordon Liddy
For the podcast of my interview, see http://www.blubrry.com/ggliddy/1382289/masters-of-command/
“In all, Strauss weaves a glorious tapestry with many vignettes featuring each of the three commanders….he compares the three in ways that are not all immediately obvious, drawing on a fully stocked supply of anecdotes and details.” — about.com

Caesar on Leadership 0
Today is publication day for Masters of Command. I’m asking each of the book’s three masters for the lessons of his leadership. Yesterday I interviewed the ghost of Hannibal and Sunday I spoke to the shade of Alexander the Great. Today I speak to Caesar’s Ghost.
Hail, Caesar. What makes you a greater leader than Alexander or Hannibal?
“Hail, Professor. Congratulations on your new book. With Caesar in the title it cannot fail.”
Thank you, Dictator.
“I can tell that you are busy today, so let me get right to the point – with audacity and speed. Caesar is Caesar, after all.
