Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Qunitus Fabius Maximus Cunctator-Fabius the Delayer-knew he couldn't beat Hannibal face to face so he beat him by not fighting him and attacking his weaker allies!.

Gaius Julius Caeser-went through the same ordeals as his men, led from in front, inspiring and dedicated!.

Stonewall Jackson and his "foot cavalry"-always reliable, got the most from his men, inspiring!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I guess it depends on your criteria for 'best'!. I mean, quickest victory, most victories, most territory gained, longest lasting empire etc!. Could even have most pretentious just so Monty gets mentioned!.

My two favorite would have to be Zhukov who believed in victory regardless of the cost in human lives and Atilla the Hun, the scourge of God!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Alexander the Great!.

Caesar!.

Napoleon!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
