In 216BC Hannibal brought about the destruction of the Roman army at Cannae using the classical manoeuvre of the double envelopment; in 1941 the German commander von Runstedt brought off a similar manoeuvre against the Russians at Kiev and won an equally crushing victory. This book demonstrates the constant factors that have underlain the strategy and tactics of the great commanders, from Alexander the Great to Marshal Zhukov.
