I'm not that impressed by great generals who came close to "conquering the known world." I admire men who served something besides their own ambitions. These come to mind:
King David: Faith, personal courage, loyalty, and ability. I'm not sure he was a great "general" but he was certainly a great leader.
Daniel Morgan: Cowpens was perhaps the tactical masterpiece of The American Revolution.
Thomas Jonathan Jackson: Same qualities as King David.
William Slim: Has anyone ever done as much with good light infantry?
