Sun Tzu! He wrote the book on war.

As for greatest general, I'd have to say Hannibal. He invaded Italy and stayed there for years, in all his major battles he was outnumbered, and under equipped but he never lost, he never got supplies from Carthage and only lost because his country backed out on him.

do you think however that he failed, by not taking rome's vital lands and holdings? rome was able to rebuild, and i realise carthage's senate was the reason Hannibal lost, but perhaps he could've taken better advantage of his victories?

Also, at the battle of Zama, his last battle for Carthage (under it's rule at least), Hannibal had many elephants, and tens of thousands of troops. But he still lost to Scipio Africanus in his last MAJOR battle.
