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

the Center for Army Leadership at the Royal Military Academy at Sanhurst, 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 as 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. Spring of 18

is when the U.S. fights, but he goes off as imagining himself as a hero. And here in,

professor is striking. I have a note here that Patton publishes or writes a brief notes

on the army regiment of tanks. They're early on now. He in 1916, 1916, 1917, the tank has

been invented by the British Army. And Patton is suddenly steered into thinking about it.
