    Meilleure citation de Battle of Lützen (1632): Gustavus Adolphus and the Thirty Years' War

    “

    The Battle of Lützen is a classic pressure of leadership where the cost of doing nothing is higher than the risk of a foggy battle. It shows that building a movement around a single 'Lion' is a massive risk, because when the leader leads from the front, the whole system is one bullet away from collapse.
