Overview

The Tribunal of Strategists: Timeless Lessons on Power, Morale, and Endurance - Lessons for Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy What would happen if history's greatest strategists sat in judgment of today's leaders? The Tribunal of Strategists imagines just that: a timeless council where figures like Sun Tzu, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Wellington, Nelson, Monash, Eisenhower, Slim, Grant, Giap, Suvorov, and others confront Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Each strategist brings their unique philosophy - preparation, morale, vision, endurance, or agility - to test modern leadership in the crucible of war. The result is not prophecy, but perspective. This book reveals how enduring principles of leadership can illuminate today's most urgent conflict, the Russia-Ukraine war, while also offering practical lessons for anyone called to lead under pressure. Across its chapters, The Tribunal of Strategists blends: History - vivid portraits of strategists who shaped wars, nations, and empires. Narrative - a dramatic tribunal where voices of the past interrogate today's leaders. Analysis - timeless principles distilled into The Strategists' Compass, a toolkit with seven guiding points: Preparation, Vision, Morale, Agility, Coalition, Persistence, and Discipline. Application - use cases for business, politics, defence, and personal leadership, showing how the Compass works in practice. This is not another theory-heavy leadership manual. Instead, it is a distillation of what truly matters: clarity of vision, endurance in adversity, trust between leaders and followers, and the discipline that underpins success. For generals, presidents, executives, and individuals alike, the Tribunal of Strategists offers a fresh way to reflect on decision-making when the stakes are high and the outcomes uncertain. If you've ever wondered what Sun Tzu would tell Putin, or how Eisenhower might advise Zelenskyy, this book brings those voices to life - and helps you ask the same hard questions of yourself.

Author Information

Dr Dennis Franklin brings to this book a perspective forged through service, leadership, and enterprise. The first in his family to serve in the military, he joined the Royal Australian Navy before building a career that spanned science, technology, business, and governance. His grandfather fought in the First World War, and his father in the Second; Dennis inherited that legacy of service and carried it forward in his own way. Though not an historian by training, his life has been shaped by a fascination with leadership under pressure - by how decisions are made when outcomes are uncertain, costly, and consequential. This enduring interest informs his work and gives voice to the themes explored in The Tribunal of Strategists.
