German Field Marshal LIMAN VON SANDERS commanded the Turkish defenses throughout the Gallipoli campaign. ESSAD PASHA was the Turkish Corps Commander of the forces opposing those at Anzac. He commanded the Turkish offensive of May 19, and Ataturk was under his command. So you see Ataturk was third in line so that is why I disqualify him in the top 20 or 30. Top 100 for sure.

General Lee did much. He preserved the South longer than it would have existed by his generalship.

I posted my candidates for the ten WORST generals of all time in reply to your Russian news item post, so I'll repeat them here: Braxton Bragg (CSA); William Westmoreland (USA); Samsonov and Rennenkampf (Imperial Russia, WW1); MacMahon (France, Franco-Prussian War); Hooker (USA, Civil War); Lord Haig (UK, WW1); Richardson (UK, WW1); Crassus (Imperial Rome); Conrad Hotzendorf (Austria-Hungary, WW1). Anyone have alternative suggestions?
