I knew someone would do this to me. You are giving the others great pleasure in making me suffer this way. LOL

Pick whatever criteria you want. I meant most skilled in insurgency, but go in whatever direction you want.

Giap should be on everyone's top 10 list, I think, although Ho Chi Minh might be a better candidate. Excellent start. I think of Washington more as a pure military leader than an insurgent, but I have not studied his life carefully.
