This is CBSI in the world. I'm John Bachelord with Professor Lloyd Clark, Director of Research

The Center for Army Leadership at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, as well as Professorial Research Fellow

and War Studies Humanities Research Institute University of Buckingham. We're discussing his new book about leadership,

which the professor tells me is his critical today in the 21st century when we're dealing with drones and robots,

as it was in the 19th century with cavalry tactics in the 20th century inventing the tank.

We go now to George Patton.

George Patton is part of an army that does not proceed to France immediately in 1914. The bloodletting is appalling.

In 1917, it is the decision of the President, Mr. Wilson and Congress, to commit the U.S. to the war.

And therefore, Patton needs to find a way to the battle. He wants to fight. He wants to be a general, and he believes war will make him a general.

So he appeals to Pershing to take him along in June of 17, which is a year before the U.S. really gets into the fight.

The spring of 18 is when the U.S. fights, but he goes off as imagining himself as a hero, and herein, Professor is striking.

I have a note here that Patton publishes or writes a brief notes on the Army Regiment of tanks.

There early on now, he in 1916, 1919, 1917, the tank has been invented by the British Army.

And Patton is suddenly steered into thinking about it. Is it comfortable for him? He is a horseman and a cavalryman by trade.

I think it is difficult for him as a cavalryman, but not difficult for him as a professional.

He recognized that change in dures, and that maybe the day of the horse cavalry had passed, and that the future was mechanized warfare.

But he had to trade a very careful line when peddling that sort of an argument.

And certainly his family, his regimental family, would react very badly against that, even if the Army more generally could see the merits in his argument.
