[QUOTE="Peat, post: 656479, member: 42330"] Most won wars involve large slices of luck. Most won wars include making huge mistakes and getting away with them, moments when the enemy could have pretty much won it if they had realised. In war, even the mediocre is quite an achievement. I would freely agree with a lot of the criticisms and comments about the importance of the Russians. I would offer more about the bungling of the Mediterranean and African campaign. But when push comes to shove, he held Britain to doing the right thing and all it could, in a way that is very difficult to imagine anyone else doing. Sometimes doing something is more important than how it is done. [/QUOTE]
