ESSAY ON: Leo Tolstoy/Statesmanship in War and Peace

Number of Pages 8

This research paper: An 8 page essay that compares and contrasts Tolstoy's characterization of Napoleon and the head of the Russian army, Field Marshal Kutuzov. The depiction of these two leaders reveals Kutuzov to be the superior leader because his primary motivations come from statecraft and concern for his country, rather than from ego. Essentially, Kutuzov is successful because he recognizes the truth, as argued by Tolstoy, which is that individuals, even leaders, are insignificant regarding the tides of historical forces. Napoleon, obsessed by self importance, is oblivious to this truth and, therefore, fails. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
