He was useless in 1920 in The Battle of Warsaw and Pilsudski saved the day; he was useless when recalled to active service in August 1939 and messed up Gamelin's strategy which might have held the German Army.<BR/><BR/>As for Political Generals - rather than MacArthur or Eisenhower, Sharon or De Gaulle, Wellington or Napoleon - I prefer Oliver CromwellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
