A short summary of Lives of the Great Commanders:
Biographical sketches of the ancient generals.
My favorite Cornelius Nepo quote from the book:
"Each man's personal habits shape his own fortune."
Questions to ponder while reading Lives of the Great Commanders:
Do the rules of war apply to everyday situations?
Do you enjoy games of strategy?
My review of the book:
A new translation of an ancient work.
In-depth information about the old generals.
Historically valuable but a teensy bit dry.
