Battle Exhortation, The Rhetoric of Combat Leadership
by K. Yellin
In Battle Exhortation Keith Yellin develops an area that has been but a sidebar in the study of military leadership and raises it to the same level of importance as the execution of military plans. Success on the battlefield is much more than understanding the enemy and appreciating the weather and terrain. Words are important. Yellin provides the ’soul dimension’ to the study of military history and leadership. This work is a must-read for practitioners and students of military leadership.
