From the Emperor Valens at Adrianople to General Tommy Franks in Iraq, Dig Another Grave tells the stories of military leaders who cost thousands--or tens of thousands--of lives through their own fault. Even renowned generals like Ulysses Grant, Dwight Eisenhower and Erwin Rommel are not spared.. While some of these accounts might be instructive for current or future generals, the book presents a fast-paced , absorbing series of accounts for the general reader.
