William Tecumseh Sherman
With all the hype surrounding the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, I saw a recent documentary on Sherman's "March to the Sea". Wow! Now here's a commander I want on my side! He really kicked the South's ass big time. The whole "scorched earth" policy and living off the spoils of war. What a bad-ass. Much like Hannibal.
Not a Grant type, but certainly a "role player".
