The author believes that Napoleon won many battles because of his enemies’ mistakes and not because of what he actually was…the greatest military mind that ever lived. I did some research of my own and found out that he is also remembered for his Napoleonic Code and his military campaigns are still taught in some military academies. Owen Connelly wrote in his book that Napoleon insisted that he would be remembered for the Napoleonic Code. And, in fact, he is. Owen Connelly’s perspective on the way Napoleon won battles is his opinion and he tries to prove it in this book.
General Douglas MacArthur, though egotistical and very controversial, was nevertheless one of the greatest military leaders in World War II and of all American history. General MacArthur cared for his men and believed proper and thorough planning saved lives and it did. When General MacArthur entered the Army he went to the Philippines and served under his father’s command. MacArthur had a lot to live up to; his father was a Medal of Honor recipient. America entered World War I and Douglas MacArthur went to France and was commander over

Alexander The Great, fought in wars for his power rights and his empire, Macedonia. He fought for many ages showing how powerful and brave he was when he never gave up and fought on the wars that he did. Arrian, another historian who also knew Alexander says, “Whilst In war with Alexander, I saw how he made endless pushes to the enemy to win and to not give up. When he later died, I then took place of being captain from the great Alexander.” This is showing Arrians view on the wars that he and alexander The Great fought in. Alexander was very determined and brave enough to fight in those wars that he had won as
Another reason why the First Crusade was successful was because of its efficient leadership. Leaders such as Robert of Flanders, who organised the foraging and gathering of materials at Jerusalem; and Robert of Normandy, who was one of the great failures of the crusade but yet scoured a victorious charge at Ascalon, greatly contributed to the success of the First Crusade. Perhaps the greatest contributor to the success of the First Crusade in terms of leadership was Bohemund. Bohemund was considered the greatest leader of the First Crusade. He was an able general, whose greatest strength was his aggressiveness.
“Boom, Boom, Boom.” The colonists only fired 5 times and wounded 1 soldier. The British fired 5 times the rate of what we did and killed 8 and wounded 1 soldier. John parker was forced to retreat.

He also uses a system of checks and balances to ensure internal stability, as well as a constant military presence, and spies everywhere to ensure external stability. Darius has an account of his success engraved into a side of a cliff in Persian, Akkadian, and Elamit, so it could be read by everyone.
Washington had a very successful career, being a dominant military and political leader. He was a strong, loyal, and dedicated man that fought for what he believed in and did not back down. Without his initiative in war, the United States would not be the way that it is today. A few of his successes include leading victories over Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War, being the first president of the United States, and being very involved in the writing of the United States Constitution. Washington had great ability to lead others, lead by example, and develop others into leaders.
His use of flexible, fast arms like cavalry and light infantry. Alexander’s success is partly a function of his using infantry in combination with slings, archers, and light cavalry. c.
