Overview

"Throughout the chronicles of military history, the skill of leadership has been epitomised by a multitude of generals, each forging their own distinct trajectory within the intricate fabric of armed conflict. The objective of ""The Greatest Generals in History"" is to shed light on these exemplars of strategic and tactical excellence. Nevertheless, prior to exploring the group of the ten most prominent individuals, it is crucial to recognise the honourable mentions-distinguished leaders who, due to diverse factors, were not included in the final compilation, yet their amazing military skills are indisputable. The process of determining the top 10 commanders in this book is fundamentally subjective due to the author's viewpoints and the criteria used. These criteria include factors such as the number of battles engaged in, the challenges encountered, the extent of risks incurred, and the delicate balance between strategic deception and military brilliance. These military commanders, although not ranked among the top ten, are honoured for their enduring influence on the field of military history. Each of them demonstrated exceptional mastery of the art of warfare, leaving behind a lasting legacy that surpasses temporal boundaries and serves as a source of inspiration for military thinking and strategic planning. It is important to note that this book focuses solely on land-based military commanders, leaving out illustrious admirals like Horatio Nelson, Andrea Doria, or Yi Sun-sin, whose stories are no less fascinating but belong to a different narrative, perhaps a book for another day. This exclusion is not an oversight but a deliberate choice to concentrate on the art of land warfare and its masters."
