• Sommario/riassunto: This book by MAJ Matthew H. Fath examines the military leadership of General Robert L. Eichelberger during World War II, particularly in the Pacific Theater. The study evaluates Eichelberger's generalship through the lens of Carl von Clausewitz's theory of military genius, focusing on the components of courage, determination, and coup d’œil. It explores Eichelberger's pre-war education and training, as well as his leadership during the Papua New Guinea, Netherlands New Guinea, and Philippines campaigns. The book aims to synthesize differing viewpoints on Eichelberger's effectiveness as a commander, providing insights into the qualities that define military genius and their relevance to contemporary military leadership. This work is intended for military professionals and scholars interested in military history and leadership studies.
