Page "Battle" Paragraph 17

Generals and commanders also play a decisive role during combat.

Hannibal, Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte were all skilled generals and, consequently, their armies were extremely successful.

An army that can trust the commands of their leaders with conviction in its success invariably has a higher morale than an army that doubts its every move.

The British in the naval Battle of Trafalgar, for example, owed its success to the reputation of celebrated admiral Lord Nelson.
