Cohen that examines how democratic leaders should exercise authority during war. Rather than treating civil-military relations as a simple division of labor in which politicians set goals and generals execute them, the book argues that wartime leadership works best when civilian leaders remain actively involved in strategy, operations, and oversight. Cohen develops this case through close historical analysis of Abraham Lincoln, Georges Clemenceau, Winston Churchill, and David Ben-Gurion, showing how each engaged forcefully with military commanders. The book is both a critique of conventional theories of civilian control and a practical argument about leadership under pressure. It is aimed at readers interested in strategy, defense policy, statecraft, and the responsibilities of elected leaders in wartime.
