  Which military leaders have dominated their times and exerted profound influence on the world? From the famous George Washington to the infamous Adolf Hitler to the obscure General Giap, this book attempts to provide the answer. In biographical sketches, the author chronicles the lives and accomplishments of the world's most influential military leaders, and, more controversially, ranks them. These figures are intended to represent the broadest range of endeavour and accomplishment. This list consists of both liberators and conquerors, those known for their weapons inventions and those known for philosophising and planning the art of war.
