Put George Washington way up there.
He was not only a great commander who fought an almost hopeless war against nearly hopeless odds both at home and abroad, but a beloved leader who then set the standard to found the most inspiring and unusual country the world has ever experienced.
This world would be a far different and meaner place today without his august presence.

Washington was a great leader, a fine statesman and a wonderful human being. But, he was a middling or worse general. You ought to read 1776.
