Marred by Errors; Lacks Maps and References
By Russell V. Olson Jr.
I read this book on my Kindle as the one free book I borrow for each month from the Kindle lending library
As a retired Army colonel who served 30 years with 13 years overseas including a tour in Vietnam followed by teaching high school history for 13 years, I feel qualified in criticizing this slim general survey of military commanders throughout history.
The book is marred by numerous errors which reflect poor editing or lack of knowledge on the part of the author. For example, Pyrrhus lived 319 - 272 B.C., but dates of 75 and 81 B.C. are used to date battles in which he fought.
In the section devoted to Hannibal (one of my all-time favorite generals), the author describes "Spanish hill tribesmen armed with deadly yet distinctive short shorts." Perhaps, the author is referring to the clothing worn by overweight people to Walmart. Such a sight would have seared the eyes of Hannibal's opponents.
In the section on Charlemagne, the author failed to mention that Charles the Great was also the grandson of Charles Martel.
Concluding the section on Genghis Khan, the author states, "His grandson Kublai Khan would later realize his dream in the conquest of the Song Chinese, as well as invasions of Japan..." While technically true, the invasions were not successful.
The term "janissaries" was not clearly defined in the discussion of Suleiman the Magnificent. I knew that they were generally shock troopers recruited from young men who had been forcibly converted from Christianity to Islam.
One of the most egregious errors was describing the 1755 battle at Monongahela as a British victory. It was a debacle for the British. And, the French and Indian War did end in 1758. It ended in 1763.
The author missed an opportunity to add to Admiral Nelson's stature by failing to include how the expression "turning a blind eye" came into being at the Battle of Copenhagen.
I could go on but will end with the author's comment that Jackson quit the Army in 1851 "to attend Virginia Military Institute." Jackson graduated from West Point. He left the Army to teach at VMI.
On a positive note, the author did give a succinct and accurate description of Patton. I only wish he had done so well for others.
The book lacked maps and references.
I could not recommend this survey of military commanders to anyone.

Random and superficial
By Amazon Customer
Not quite sure why the author selected this particular group of leaders as "the greatest." No rationale or criteria are given. Most of the selections are standard, a few are dubious: Darius III (whose greatest accomplishment was losing to Alexander) and Bernard Montgomery (Market Garden) are perhaps the most unusual selections. The inclusion of Patton, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson reflect an American bias. Stonewall Jackson was successful in small engagements against fourth-rate Union generals during his short career, but his accomplishments are dwarfed by those of Frederick the Great, who was not included. David Farragut's daring and brilliant seizure of New Orleans had far greater impact on the outcome of the war than Jackson's Valley Campaign. And why select Patton over Eisenhower, who bore the overall responsibility for the success of the Normandy invasion? The greatest value of this short book is probably in introducing Western readers to Yi Sun-Sin, Oda Nobunaga and Khalid ibn Walid.

It's a great source of information and I had a fantastic read
By Viola Sutliff
It's a great source of information and I had a fantastic read. The author discussed each commander in a concise and straightforward manner, which was okay. I'm familiar with some of these military commanders but there are some I've only read about here so it was great knowing about them. I would want to watch a movie about these other commanders.
