Show Notes

Captain Adolf Von Schell was an infantry officer in the German Army during the First World War. In 1930 he gave a series of lectures on battle leadership to American officers at the Infantry School in Fort Benning, Georgia. These presentations were later collected into a book called "Battle Leadership." In this podcast, I read a short selection from Capt. Von Schell's book, and discuss its relevance for today.
