The author of the book “100 Great Military Leaders” is a professional military historian. As a criterion for assessing the greatness of each military leader, he took, first of all, the victories won and the extent to which these victories determined the outcome of certain wars. Napoleon and Zhukov, Caesar and Suvorov, Hannibal and Timur, Aurelian and Washington lived in completely different eras and under different conditions, but their personal contribution to the art of war is undeniable.
