Supreme Command

In *Supreme Command*, Eliot A. Cohen argues that great statesmen do not leave wars entirely to their generals.

Instead, they actively engage with military leaders, questioning and driving them to achieve strategic goals.

The book explores how these statesmen successfully managed military campaigns by being deeply involved in the details of war planning.

Cohen's thesis challenges the traditional view that civilians should step back once military objectives are set, advocating for a more integrated approach to wartime leadership.
