The greatest general in history?

The Brits have a different perspective on military history. It's all but useless to discuss the pros and cons of 2,000 year old legendary events. Even with today's incredible technology Cadets in West Point still discuss T.J. "Stonewall" Jackson's tactics. He literally ran circles around the Union army during the US Civil War with his "foot cavalry".

how'd that work out for him?

How did that work out for him....hmmm. Is that the favorite question about military strategy in your 8th grade history class?

no, but then again, people in 8th grade probably know the difference between tactics and strategy.
 
The best of the best- Napoleon, Belasarius, Fabius Maximus ( Cunctator), Hannibal, Alexander, Turenne, Eugene of Savoy,Duke of Marlborough, Fredrick the Great.

Eastern Generals ... how about General Bai Qi. Served the King of Qin during the period known as the Warring States. This period produced the famous Art of War and other military classics.
Without him the State of Qin would never have unified China. Qi came up through the ranks to the rank of Commander for the State of Qin.

His nicknames were the Slaughterer, War Devil, and God of War. The record shows he won more than 70 battles, and never lost. Soldiers under his command killed more than one million six hundred and fifty thousand enemy soldiers.
