RE: Most Overrated generals in history
The British won Waterloo? Seems to me the Prussians lent a hand. Barely half of Wellington's army at Waterloo were British, and thats counting Scots and Irish troops.

A College term paper of mine, claiming Wellington was the best commander of his era got me an A+. The prof was NO military historian and I've since revised my view on the question.

For bookshelf karma, I keep the volumes of Weller and Hofschroer well separated! :whis:
