Never write anything that suggests Napoleon wasn't the greatest military leader of all time. You will upset the fanboiz |

Somewhat amateurish; I'm being polite. |

Seems a lot of factors have been left out or are considered in a partial way. Neither were particularly pleasant personalities (though apparently Wellington mellowed in old age)and neither could truly delegate which was a major weakness. Not sure I will be adding this to my data base. |

The article isn't helpful at all and it appears it is a biased product based on doubtful source material. neither could truly delegate which was a major weakness This is an inaccurate statement regarding Napoleon, but an accurate one regarding Wellington. Napoleon certainly delegated especially in secondary theaters. He was not a micro-manager and usually issued mission-type orders, telling his corps commanders (when he was the army commander) what he wanted done, but not how to do it. |
