This tactcian was a great general who is usually overlooked when great leaders are listed but I believe Nathan Bedford Forest (CSA) was definitely a general that could be considered one of the best.
 
Even though this is a repeated topic, I'll insert my two cents.

1. Erwin Rommel
2. Patton
3. Doolittle (Leader of the American counter attack on Tokyo after Pear Harbor)

I hope I spelled 3's name right. That's why I told who he was.

Marlborough....Another brilliant man

Have you read Churchill's biography of Marlborough? Probably his best writing...

I have to agree with Wellington.

I would also add:

R.E. Lee - He was brilliant and audacious - he just didn't have enough resources to carry out his plans.
Stonewall Jackson - Lee's strong right arm - with the exception of the peninsula he was an incredible General

And I have to agree about Forrest - he was an absolute racist so-and-so, but he was arguably the best Cavalry General in US history.

Do you mean the leader of the Mamluk army in the 13th Century?
Edward I fought him but didn't have much in the way of success during his crusade.

That the fella you're referring to?
 
There's no need to have this thread when there are others already open with the same basic topic.

Moderator, could you please close this thread and perhaps amalgamate with one of the others?
