    Robert E. Lee!

    Biography:
    Robert E. Lee was the legendary commander of the Confederate forces in the Civil War. Against overwhelming odds, Lee scored victory after victory against the Union forces led by seven different generals. Famous battles include: 2nd Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, and — possibly his greatest performance — Chancellorsville. Outnumbered two to one, Lee broke with convention and divided his forces not once but twice — ultimately driving the Federal army under Joseph Hooker from the field.

    Leadership Attributes:
    Personally, General Lee was reserved and seemed enigmatic to his men. But on the battlefield he was daring and audacious, as at Chancellorsville, where he divided his troops in the face of greater opposing forces. His diplomatic skills were as well-honed as his generalship. For example, in his early role as presidential adviser to Jefferson Davis, he tried to ease the difficult personalities of Confederacy President Jefferson Davis and General Joseph E. Johnston.

    Wesley Clark.

    Biography:
    Graduating from West Point at the head of his class, Wes Clark has achieved success throughout his military career. He served in Vietnam; was a key negotiator of the Dayton Peace Accords; and was head of the U.S. European Command. Clark was an Armor Officer who commanded at every level from company to division. As Supreme Allied Commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, he led the 19-member alliance to victory in Kosovo — NATO's longest and most difficult military campaign.

    Leadership Attributes:
    Clark has had a distinguished military career. As Commander-in-Chief, United States Southern Command, Panama, he directed all U.S. forces in Latin America and the Caribbean. As the Director, Strategic Plans and Policy, J5, the Joint Staff, he was the staff officer responsible for U.S. military strategic planning. Clark is also known for considerable diplomatic prowess — he was chiefly responsible for holding together the 19-member NATO alliance in Kosovo. He was also the lead military negotiator of the Dayton Peace Accords that brought the war in the former Yugoslavia to a halt.

    Grant.

    I wanted Sherman, but Grant is kind of cool because I'm related to him. He was my grandmother's great uncle or something like that.

    I got Bradley. His answers just seemed self-evidently right. (The only one I paused over was on going to the Front).

    But I think the quiz got Wellington wrong - to get him, you need the same responses as Bradley (Q1: Plan; Q3: Go to the Front; Q4: Negotiate) except that Q2 should be a detailed, not general, plan.

    Yet one of the most memorable things I recall Wellington having said was when he compared himself to Massena. He said Massena created intricate plans, like a harness with many leads. The problem with that was that if things went wrong, it was very hard to fix the plan. By contrast, he - Wellington - made a simple plan like a sturdy rope, so that if things went wrong, it was easy to tie a knot and fix it.

    Lee here - though, it was close to being Clark - depending on whether I decided to meet and greet my men first...
