War and glory in the old world debate
In Europe the argument over who earns victory in war centers on generals versus soldiers. Caesar, Alexander, Napoleon and Washington are cited as examples of genius, while soldiers bear the burdens. history favors the planner, yet the soldiers’ deeds secure the results. The piece cites Wellington and Napoleon as emblematic, then shifts to a crime note about a murder in Warwick with a suspect described, a coroner’s inquest, and details from the autopsy and witnesses.
