Great Commanders

There were also some other great generals in the past. They just couldn't finish their military duty because their commanders or should I say superiors forbade them to do something very spectacular that would have changed the world history. The Author seriously left out alot of great generals. What about George Washington? George S. Patton? McArthur? These three alone would really have changed the world alot more if their stupid superiors, who were concerned more about their personal lives than the war itself. If They just stepped aside and let them did their job then I think that the world would be alot more fascinating today!

Having read the same author's I, Caesar which was brilliant - a great introduction to the Roman Empire - I thought I'd give this book a try too. It's not normally my area of interest but the stories are gripping. And, as a woman, I, of course, found men such as Alexander the Great fascinating to read about. Beautifully written and nicely illustrated, I enjoyed the book so much I even bothered to spread the word on the internet!!
