I learned a lot from this book. In particular Matthew Ridgway and David Petraeus. With each of the five generals Hanson gives you the background of the general before their famous battle or campaign, then the events surrounding the battle or campaign and then what happened to these generals after their famous action. He keeps it tight and pithy but still gives you a lot of information surrounding five really interesting characters.For me the most knowledge gaining read was about Ridgway. I know almost nothing about the Korean war and those times and so that was really an interesting read for me. He covered the politics of the early 50's, how the US almost got thrown out of Korea and how this character, Ridgway, who was at a cocktail party in D.C. got tagged and overnight landed up in Korea as the key field commander their having to deal with an army that was in full retreat. Yet in 90 days he turned it around and replaced MacArthur in Japan. I had no idea how bad the situation was. My only understanding was that no one likes to talk about the Korean war.Petraeus was an interesting read for me as well because although I was certainly living through that time (2007 - 2008) I did not know much about the general and of course current politics blurred actual events. No matter how you feel about the war in Iraq this is an informational read about how we got there and what the Surge was all about.Hanson's write up on all five generals was really done very well. You did not get lost in the pages. He kept it crisp and concise and very interesting to read. You will learn a lot and that is always a good thing.There is not moralizing in the book, no politics. Just the players, how they developed, how the battles developed and what happened to them afterwards. Great read.
Really great book, informative, well written, didn't drag at all and throughout he makes clear how and why this is important for today. With this being written when it was it's now very interesting to see how Petraeus winds things up, he could be called out of retirement if needed, but the way he was dealt with by the current administration you know other things are at work. Also with Obama's pullout of Iraq which made no strategic sense and rise of ISIS it's tough to see a situation where someone snatched defeat from the jaws of victory quite like BHO, another book VDH?Seeing how long thought out Salamis was for the Athenian victory was very interesting, and prescient as well. All the other generals discussed were pretty well known and interesting throughout but Matthew Ridgeway seemed the most forgotten, of the forgotten war, and how he turned that around was really enlightening. Strange how soldiers need good leadership and focus on the why/what they are actually accomplishing to be successful... Highly recommended book.
Independence of thought, the elevation of truth over consensus, and a quiet confidence in the righteousness of their cause, make up some of the common traits of the Savior Generals so ably illustrated in this fascinating book. Recommended.
I dipped into the book with a particular concentration on the modern era. I confess my knowledge of the Korean conflict has always been sketchy, mostly involving the resentments of veterans who in the aftermath of Vietnam felt forgotten and the pain in the Korean-American community over the long separation of their nation and their families. This portrait of Matthew Ridgeway helped paint the geopolitical context, as well as contributing to the thesis of the book. In turn, the book's thesis that these heroic leaders not only rescue a cause that seems to have been lost, but reshape the very nature of the conduct of war in some significant way going forward, suggests that the role of David Petraeus in leading the surge in Iraq may be far more consequential than is immediately apparent. Of course, as the author acknowledges, it is too early to make that judgment with any certainty. But it is interesting to note that his precipitous fall from grace is actually entirely consistent with the pattern of the savior general.
This book humbles me. It helps me be more courageous and learn from history.
While I'm a southern boy at heart, and my great-great-grandmother's home in Jonesboro, Georgia was threatened to be burned by his troops, Dr. Hanson's description of Sherman was, i believe, spot on. Sherman exhibited great courage by cutting his communications and his supply trains and moving into unknown territory, not knowing whether he would find sufficient rations for his troops or whether guerilla forces would tear his forces apart. The only thing he knew was that he would find succor in Savannah. It's 250 miles to Savannah!As to his review of Ridgeway and Petraeus, his analysis was good; however, I believe he gave too much credit to the two generals and too little to the generals they succeeded. Things are seldom that simple.
I like Hanson. He has turned me back onto History, which was the degree I earned in college. I might have disagreed on a few generals, Sherman before Grant must have been a difficult choice. Both generals were discarded and then returned to save the Union when others failed. But maybe he is right in presenting that a savoir general appears, saves the day, and then flames out.
Basically Mr. Hanson reveals how the perceived lost cause is never lost when a great leader can see how to win. Very motivational, However we can see that all these commanders were used and then in a way, cast aside. My favorite general has always been William T. Sherman. He took care of his boys and did not cast there lives away. A man who understood how the rifled musket had changed warfare. Of all the best things he earned was the affectionate name of"Uncle Billy" by his men. He brought real war to the people who had only read about it in the newspapers.
